My knowledge on cryptography is next to nothing. Would you mind explaining to me what makes the case for secure messaging different than any other transfer through a secured HTTP connection? I also read a bit on OTR Messaging and the "Socialist Millionaires' Protocol" but just got even more confused.
- dchest 13y agoIt's not that messaging can't use TLS, of course, it can. I'm objecting to the absolute (if we don't trust TLS for messaging, we shouldn't trust it one-time download), e.g. see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threat_model https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threat_model
