Shouldn’t you instead just encrypt your disk entirely?
- metilda 9y agoThat is Moxie's main point, full disk encryption should be used everywhere, and encrypting Signal's message database on Android is purely due to full disk encryption on Android being a steaming pile or bricking your phone.
- enraged_camel 9y agoI should, and do, but a lot of non-techies don't, and this design decision might end up with their Signal messages compromised. I mean isn't one of Signal's target audience people like journalists and activists?
- hutzlibu 9y agoYes, but the point is, if those people don't use ecryption, then they have a problem anyway - and if they do, but their system is compromised, than the attacker gets anything anyway. In either case, I think Signal's job is to secure the messages going out and coming in and not protecting the disk.
