Signal Protocol goes way beyond PGPs default security offering with Forward Secrecy and much more. One of those cases where the crypto is way stronger than the environment in which it exists. Tramps living on park benches exchanging messages by armoured cars is the favoured analogy I believe. Although maybe I'd call IPhone's a cheap rented flat, the landlord (Apple) could still pop in, and the walls are made of plasterboard (aka Unix). Pragmatically, if you want this sort of level of protection and decent network effect use WhatsApp, and tweak the settings. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
