Questioning Signal's crypto is gross?
Why Telegram crypto is a complete question mark but Signal crypto is unquestionable?
Maybe otherwise, Signal backdoored to US intelligence?
- dna_polymerase 9y agoBecause the Signal Crypto Protocol is completely open & the client is open source. A backdoor in Signal would require the keys to be exported to the Signal servers (by compromising the source code), which would be visible to every open source developer.
- DiThi 9y agoAnd Telegram Crypto Protocol and client are not? I'm using Telegram client compiled from sources right now... Edit: The main problem with Telegram is not the crypto, but the fact that end-to-end crypto is not used by default. Except with calls, those are always end to end encrypted.
