I'd say this wasn't always an advantage for SSL/TLS. The crypto will have impact on the protocol design. I.e. OTR wouldn't work on smartphones because of the always online architecture. I'd also rather not have some random group get together and design a crypto plugin... personally.

Learning a lot of new stuff and the Wikipedia page seems a bit dense... > I'd also rather not have some random group get together and design a crypto plugin... personally. Not even if it were only available open-source?
- lawl 10y agoI'm on a smartphone. But OTR expects the opposite side to respond immediately. So not SMS or anything of that sort. The signal protocol for example was designed to work around that. A client can be offline when you send a message. Different protocol design that involves stuff server side. > Not even if it were only available open-source? No. Very few people can assess if something is cryptographically sane, and a lot of people need to do it for something to be believed secure. I'm not one of those people. I'd rather use state of the art crypto. Thanks.
