Encryption is not of any real value if the threat you're describing is 'someone simply has access to all your plaintext messages'. This isn't a meaningful argument against forward secrecy.
- upofadown 5y agoThe argument is that an attacker that gets your secret key material also gets your saved messages. If you had a more secure way to protect the saved messages then you could of used it to protect the secret key material. It is more or less the same problem.
