Signal is an encrypted messaging application that supports post-quantum cryptography.
Google Gmail is the email provider for Signal Messenger LLC, this is the company that develops the Signal messaging application and the Signal protocol.
Signal support can be contacted from within the application by going to Signal Settings (profile) > Help > Contact Us.
After a long hesitation I finally installed #Signal. Along with Fb Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram, Google Messages… it is yet another #messaging app on which I have to make myself available. For only a dozen of contacts listed, I still wonder if it is worth it.

Fascinating ... Apple joins Signal to provide the most secure end-to-end encrypted messaging protocols. Note: Apple engineers created their own “Levels” and magically theirs is the highest. ;) But regardless, this is obviously strong encryption.
"Support for PQ3 will start to roll out with the public releases of iOS 17.4, iPadOS 17.4, macOS 14.4, and watchOS 10.4, and is already in the corresponding developer preview and beta releases.”
#Apple strengthens iMessage end-to-end encryption with post-quantum cryptography: PQ3.
"iMessage now meets this goal with a new cryptographic protocol that we call PQ3, offering the strongest protection against quantum attacks and becoming the only widely available messaging service to reach Level 3 security"
#1 way you know your org is using @matrix for communication: the ratio of content-bearing messages to "could you please discard your session?" messages is significantly < 1:0. #matrix#messaging#chat
#Cybersecurity#Apple#Encryption#Messaging#RCS: "On its own, the core RCS protocol is currently not any more secure than SMS. The protocol is not encrypted by default, meaning that anyone at your phone company or any law enforcement agent (ordinarily with a warrant) will be able to see the contents and metadata of your RCS messages. The RCS protocol by itself does not specify or recommend any type of end-to-end encryption. The only encryption of messages is in the incidental transport encryption that happens between your phone and a cell tower. This is the same way it works for SMS.
But what’s exciting about RCS is its native support for extensions. Google has taken advantage of this ability to implement its own plan for encryption on top of RCS using a version of the Signal protocol. As of now, this only works for users who are both using Google’s default messaging app (Google Messages), and whose phone companies support RCS messaging (the big three in the U.S. all do, as do a majority around the world)."
È anche questo un effetto del Digital Markets Act #DMA dell'#EU
È chiaro che un'operazione di questo tipo sia complessa (basta pensare alla gestione dell'#encryption), ma l'abbattimento dei #walled#garden e del predominio dei #gatekeeper è comunque un vantaggio per gli utenti

Happy to take ownership, train teams and learn new business domains.
"#Jabber is a new project I recently started to create a complete #opensource platform for #InstantMessaging with transparent #communication to other IM systems (#ICQ, #AIM, etc). Most of the initial design and protocol work is done, as well as a working server and a few test clients."
1-3-24 Nicole Sandler Show – Words Matter with Anat Shenker-Osorio
I'm thrilled to welcome Anat Shenker-Osorio back to the show. It's been a while -- the last time she was here was in July of 2014! Yes, she's been trying to help progressives win elections for many years and I thought this was the perfect time to have her impart some of her wisdom to our listeners.
As she explains at the st https://nicolesandler.com/1-3-24/ #NicolesBlog#AnatShenkerOsario#elections#messaging#polling
We always hear "Dem messaging sucks!" but they don't have to, my friend @anatosaurus is going to talk about how to message, "Sell the brownies & not the recipe!" (As she famously told @lawrence O'Donnell)
She's live on @nicolesandler's show 1-3-2024 5:00 pm EST https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LujW3qpn_wE
One of the questions I want her to address the mistakes that Dems often make and "frame our aims in terms of what we oppose."
In 2024 I want help progressives tell better stories with good #Messaging @GottaLaff
