ProtonMail has a publicly available threat model: https://protonmail.com/blog/protonmail-threat-model/ https://protonmail.com/blog/protonmail-threat-model/
Without a threat model (that is, the set of threats that one is trying to secure a system against), you have no idea what someone means by "secure". It could mean unpickable doorlocks, it could mean unbreakable windows, it could mean angry-Hippopotamus-proofing. It could mean that you smelly farts can't escape your pants.
Any claim of security without a threat-model is in the most literal sense meaningless. And don't get me started on "Military Grade Encryption", which is a term that at this point should give you a sense of concern, rather than safety.
- pvg 9y agoAny claim of security without a thread-model I'm not sure I understand what your counterpoint here is since we seem to be saying the same thing but I had to go back and fix 'thread model' twice myself. An underestimated threat model to commenting about threat models!
- arghwhat 9y agoI am sorry, I misread your comment slightly, which resulted in the polar opposite meaning. English is a fun language. :)
