Perhaps a better idea would be to fund an audit of the Signal app. (Or has that been done already?)

  Doesn't help figure out if the signal update of the day that comes from the store is any good.

    That is true. But given how much interest there is to find vulnerabilities in the Signal app, I would be very surprised if anyone would succeed in putting up a compromised Signal app on the App store and also be able to fly under the radar.

      The "anyone" in this case would be Signal. No need to fake it when Signal is under US law.

        And if Signal did this you think no-one would notice?

        Ok lawyer, explain which US law allows compelled speech considering in djb vs US it was decided code was speech, and protected by the first amendment.

      With cooperation, you could literally target just certain devices with the compromised version.

        IMHO, the cost of that attack is pretty darn high.

  An audit would only prove that the current code is secure.
