You will find https:///www.wire.com/ https:///www.wire.com/ interesting. e2e encrypted, clients for Windows, Mac, Android & iOS. And chats are synched between all your clients. Also .. no phone number required to sign up; use your email.
- lqdc13 11y agoMissing Linux native, but that might be too much to ask. Thanks for the link. I'll give it a try. Do you know if it's open source or at least gone through an audit?
- ahalam 11y agoThe crypto modules are indeed open source. https://github.com/wireapp https://github.com/wireapp I don't know whether they have been formally audited.
- pritambaral 11y agoThat would be the source of some crypto code, not necessarily the code the app itself uses. Since the app is closed, there's no way to verify.
- LeoPanthera 11y agoHow is client sync possible with e2e?
- lqdc13 11y agoWhy wouldn't it be possible? The app knows who is sending to who and which devices are linked.
- ianpurton 11y agoBecause if it's end to end encrypted each device would either need the same private key to decode the messages or each message is encrypted with each devices public key. This would require some kind of key exchange i.e. scanning bar codes.
- ahalam 11y agoI've noticed that a new device added to the account will not see the history. It only sees those messages that are received or sent after it has been added to the account.
- simoncion 11y agoThere's no technical reason that the synced devices couldn't distribute the missing messages amongst themselves. :)
- lqdc13 11y agoThere are probably a million ways to deal with it. I haven't looked into it at all, but one way I just thought of right now is to have your own devices p2p the message among themselves with original sender's information after the one used most recently receives it.
- berdario 11y agoSignal also syncs its e2e encrypted chats
- rnhmjoj 11y agoIt's possible because chats are not end-to-end encrypted.
- Natanael_L 11y agoClient-to-client, simple as that. Pushed in encrypted form like regular messages.
- rnhmjoj 11y agoIt's closed source, has no linux client and it's not end-to-end encrypted. https://mobile.twitter.com/thegrugq/status/540176489677746176 https://mobile.twitter.com/thegrugq/status/54017648967774617... Also have a look at https://wire.com/legal/#privacy https://wire.com/legal/#privacy
- Siimteller 11y agoAll crypto is open sourced. https://app.wire.com https://app.wire.com offers full functionality on Linux. That tweet you link to is over a year old. Wire is E2EE since March 2016. https://wire.com/privacy https://wire.com/privacy has security and privacy whitepapers. PS. I work at Wire.
