If you want to be completely sure you can't beat boring old PGP. It runs on top of XMPP and is too simple to hide anything in.
The new XMPP hotness is OMEMO. Conversations is a good mobile client that supports both PGP and OMEMO.
- xorcist 6y agoYou probably meant to say OTR, not PGP? OMEMO is five years old, and supported by all major clients, so it's not very "hot" anymore". OTRv4 is somewhat hot and new. It's not in wide use (yet) and it's unclear if it is enough of an improvement to take over.
- upofadown 6y ago>You probably meant to say OTR, not PGP? No. OTR depends entirely on fingerprints for identity. The poster was referring to the difficulty of knowing for sure that you are really end to end. PGP has the advantage here in that you can be completely sure because you can exchange the keys yourself.
