    I do believe I encountered someone saying ey was working on an open source Signal server replacement and after that was done ey'd also support XMPP. But, I don't remember any more details than that. 🤪

    is signal using real encrypt, or it just encrypt for cheating user?

    littleme, Signal's protocol is pretty good. Steve Gibson, a 30+ year security research read the white papers and really liked how they did things. https://grc.com / htthttps://twit.tv/shows/security-now ✎

    littleme: Signal's issue is users not verifying and authenticating their public keys (as many don't understand how it works). Just like, I'd bet 99% of the WhatsApp users, don't and ignore the security warning if a key changes or even have this warning disabled. GHCQ's Ghost is happy. ;)

    disable the key changes warning,that's terrible
