Okay look. *I* don't use #Signal ( and same for #Telegram ), because I don't want to give my telephone number to anyone except family and close friends. I have enough personal contacts that do use them so that they'd be personally useful if I didn't have that unbreakable obstacle. But I don't object to others choosing such end-to-end encrypted messengers over messaging apps suc… -

So there are two big issues with #Signal that make it unsuitable. The first one is that they don't federate, so users are perpetually bound to their servers. Users may use it and enjoy it and recommend it, but if OpenWhisper Systems (or whatever their current name is) decides to close down their servers, users are screwed. Second, is that they require users' telephone numbers. … -

Considering getting a burner phone to temporarily sign up for #Signal and #Telegram. -

@amic@nulled.red’s asked me to try #Telegram because their phone isn’t working with #Wire. Unfortunately, TG, like #Signal, requires my telephone number, so both of those are not acceptable.
(Leaving aside any questions about Telegram’s ownership, integrity, financing, and encryption.) -

#ExtinctionRebellion session @ #35c3 is FULL! One third of the people sitting on the floor ????
Amazing to see a room full of hackers excited to join the cause. There's enthusiasm to help non-techy people switch to #signal, #mastodon & #nextcloud ⚡ ???? ????

@strypey So there's a lot to unpack in that document. The #Session onion routing protocol involves using a #blockchain called #Loki to make it difficult for an adversary to control a significant fraction of the nodes and prevent exposing the IP addresses (and therefore identities) of a user and his/her contacts to the same person or group. (As you noticed, Session is not yet us… -

@hishamhm And last but absolutely not least: If the user doesn't understand the concept and importance of fingerprinting, there is no security to speak of. People laud the "user friendly" interface of #Signal etc, where all of this is magically hidden, but all of a sudden someone with a similar (or visually identical through unicode etc.) identity comes along and bam - they have no idea they're getting duped. -

@moonman The author(s) of #Conversations were the ones who appropriated (I love that word) the #Signal encryption stuff (axolotl which became "the Signal protocol" or whatever?) onto !XMPP using the pubsub XEP for public keys. So no wonder their own client supports it .)
Gajim's plugin draft was written by Conversations developers too, so that was awesomely nice by them. I'm happy I have donated hard cash. -

Die beliebte AndroidROM #CyanogenMod stellt den Serverbetrieb für #WhisperPush ein. Dieses stellte eine Implementierung des TextSecure-Protokolls für den verschlüsselten Versandt von SMS dar.

In a sane world #Signal would already be in F-droid. Until then I guess I'll have to compile it. IMHO that's bad for security.
