@julia Lol, like 40 years ago I wrote a program that caeser-ciphered your chat messages and got banned from at least one system for it. I called it "Captain Midnight's Secret Encoder Term" which was a huge clue and there were people who didn't bother running it and decoded it in their head.

@julia Matrix is safer because you can't send messages.
Show threadMistake not ...Jun 1
@mdhughes @julia yea it forces the user (a potential attacker) to work with ciphertext only, in my experience most symmetric ciphers are a lot less vulnerable when you don't give the attacker known plaintext/ciphertext pairs. So this is clearly a great security feature of Matrix. ooc: (I had all these problems until I migrated away from matrix.org, since then matrix just works, group chats and all)

@julia Do you have a source for this please?

@julia Ah. Sorry. There was no context.
Show threadJulia  Jun 1
@Ooze The joke is that of course you can read your own messages in the app

otherwise it'd be useless

@julia Oh gods, of course. I am an idiot.

@Ooze @julia I've managed to avoid using Matrix thus far because I hear it's an absolute ballache to run, but I assume the "Matrix prevents this" is exactly as funny as it sounds.

It absolutely is.

@nu @julia @Ooze various reasons why Matrix gets UTDs (Unable To Decrypt errors)
Show threadSheaJun 3
@tranquillity @julia @Ooze ahh, ngl act, the only reason ive experienced people being unable to decrypt their stuff was not verifying their devices, or resetting their state because they forget to store the key (also commet ig but that app was in alpha so like, yea, what could i expect)
Show threadIty Kitty [unit X-69]Jun 3
@nu @julia @Ooze I've seen a bunch lol
Also, not verifying devices is technically bad cross-signing state (okay not necessarily but in practice yes)

Show threadManuel KehlJun 1

@julia Whaaat?! That means it’s open to all sorts of social engineering attacks and people peeking over your shoulder?!

They should be showing messages in a made up language that only the recipient understands. Common industry practice, innit? SMH
