...messages are encrypted during sending and are decoded by the other phone which has the key to read it; anyone intercepting the message intercepts an incomprehensible message that can only be deciphered by the recipient's mobile phone and no one else. Security: Offers very high metadata protection compared to standard apps.The compromise: Being so focused on privacy, the user experience can be less fluid than #WhatsApp.You have to save your contacts via long code strings or QR codes, and there isn't an "integrated address book" that automatically downloads contacts from your SIM.

#SIMPLEX 🇬🇧

The strength: "No Metadata" Architecture. SimpleX has a unique and revolutionary approach. How it works: Unlike almost all other apps, SimpleX does not use a permanent "user identifier" like a phone number or a fixed username on their servers; instead, it uses temporary addresses for each connection.

🎖️ #THREEMA 🇨🇭
Very popular in Germany
Uses an anonymous 8-digit Threema ID. Proprietary code (but audited).
Threema is used extensively by Swiss and German doctors and military due to the app's military-grade security. One-time payment of €5. @threemaap

🐐 #ELEMENT X - #MATRIX 🇬🇧
Federated. Communicates with anyone using the Matrix protocol (you can write to anyone with a Matrix address even if they use a different app than yours = bridge). A bit complex for the general public; some have concerns about the security of bridges. Much loved by geeks, activist groups, and journalists who need to maintain an invisible but online profile.FREE&100% Open Source. @matrix

Secondo la mia modesta opinione (di un qualunque sig. Nessuno con accesso a Internet e libero di scrivere quello che vuole sui social) uno dei principali motivi per cui non esistono più progetti del genere, è tecnico e ha 3 lettere: #TLS.

BADATE BENE, però...
Non sto dicendo che la #Crittografia e la #SicurezzaOnline siano delle cose brutte... ANZI!
Fortuna che esistono! 🥹

Sto solo constatando come - pacchetti non più in chiaro - impediscano la nascita di questi progetti amatoriali.
