... which is fixed by a better client. That requires skills, but different ones from designing a new crypto protocol.
Given the PR efforts of the telegram people, they might actually be better XMPP+OTR+TextSecure+... client implementers than crypto designers (and maybe even better client implementers than most of the people who build clients right now since the situation _is_ bad).
- m_mueller 13y agoI agree with that. Why they didn't go with this route is something I'd like to know as well - Telegram's FAQ is quite vague on this issue. But still, I prefer a reasonably secure service with great clients on all platforms, over a perfectly secure service with ugly clients that I can never 'sell' to decision makers.
