You missed his point. If you have "any form of communication with end-to-end encryption that you control fully", that precludes "an OS-level keylogger".

- dextorious 15y agoNo, it does not. Communication is what happens on the wire.
- billybob 15y agoI think we're using different definitions of "control fully." In my view, in order to control the encryption process fully, you must control the device doing the encryption. If you're using an OS with a keylogger, you DON'T have "end-to-end encryption that you control fully" because you don't control one of the ends. If you fully controlled both ends, the security of the wire would be irrelevant. It could send copies of every message you send straight to your enemy's inbox and it would still be secure, because only the two fully controlled ends could decrypt the messages they send one another. If you don't control the device, you don't control the encryption.
