Aussie police, national security and ASIO are still struggling to crack SIGNAL encryptions and fail to understand the complexity of code that allows users to speak secretly, nazi fascist local kkkops will even get family members to download it thinking they have a prime suspect to catch just because their family member has access to a username with an encryption code, the code isn't an admittance or evidence to use in court against a person using the app. This naive thinking by the fascist establishments need to fuck off as they don't know shit.
Signal encryption key vulnerability being fixed on Mac (and less fully on Windows)
A long-standing Signal encryption key vulnerability in the company’s desktop apps is finally being fixed. The fix will fully secure the Mac app, but the company will only be able to offer a compromise solution for the Windows version …
The Signal desktop apps for both Mac and Windows store messages in an encrypted SQLite database whose key is automatically generated by the app, without user involvement.
Ephemeral usernames instead of phone numbers safeguard privacy — and makes Signal even harder to subpoena.
