out of the loop, what's the problem with signal?
(thelemmy.club)
i've just seen a comment in a post, in this very community, saying people trust signal because of missinformation (from what i could undertand).
if this is true, then i have a few questions:
-what menssaging app should i use for secure communications? i need an app that balances simplicity and security.
-how to explain it to my friends who use signal because i recomended?
-what this means for other apps in general?
I am under the impression that Signal encrypts metadata so that is useless to sell. The only thing they can turn over to law enforcement after a lawful warrant is the phone number an account was opened with (and maybe the date that happened) and the date of the last time the account was used. That is all.
Don't they also need to store who to send your messages? From a technical point of view?
They store where to deliver the message, but not from who that message came.
signal's "sealed sender" feature has an incoherent threat model
Didnt know abput that.
