Telegram is closed source so we can't verify that they implemented encryption properly, and only Secret Chats have the messages encrypted. https://telegram.org

  The end to end encryption is open source.

    The server is published?
    • jhasse 11y ago
      No, that's not relevant for the end to end encryption though.

  I thought the Telegram client is open-source, it's even on F-droid. The server side being open or closed source is meaningless: 1. In Telegram's threat model the servers are not trusted. 2. You can't verify server side code anyway.

    The Telegram client can just barely be considered Open Source, see the discussion at https://github.com/DrKLO/Telegram/pull/76 https://github.com/DrKLO/Telegram/pull/76

      F-droid builds those parts separately from source. > The official source code of the app contains binary blobs, so this tracks a fork which builds those from source. Hence, versions might become available with a certain lag. https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=org.telegram.messenger https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=org.telegram.mes...
