They claim AES 256-bit encryption, and yet when I go through debug and networking logging they clearly only encrypt messages with regular SSL - so what does it mean when they say they encrypt? Just that they may store the messages encrypted? Which is unlikely if they have "near-realtime search" considering how difficult it is to implement searching over encrypted data.
- MichaelGG 13y agoTheir SSL negotiates AES256, so they're technically correct?
- EGreg 13y agoI think they are saying the communications are encrypted, not the data on the server. Which is not really that impressive, it's becoming standard to ENCRYPT ALL THE THINGS!!!1 in social apps. But the way they said it did confuse me as well.
