Does it count as "encrypted" if the keys have been given to the people spying on you?
- Despegar 8y agoThe point of end-to-end encryption is that Apple doesn't have any keys to give.
- ferongr 8y agoHow do you know? Have you audited the source code of the software?
- dymk 8y agoHave you audited the code for Signal's app? Have you built and installed the app from that audited source? Asking "have you audited the source" is such a meaningless question when you're not building from source (and auditing the compiler...), which practically nobody, not even HN users, are doing. Please read Reflections on trusting trust and rethink what your threat model is, and what you consider "secure". https://www.archive.ece.cmu.edu/~ganger/712.fall02/papers/p761-thompson.pdf https://www.archive.ece.cmu.edu/~ganger/712.fall02/papers/p7...
