Quote HistoryQuoted: I don't think there's any argument to be had as to why people are shifting apps. And yes, when people believe they are "safe" from govt spying they will use such app to "plot". Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: The big influx of people to signal isn't because people are using it to plot anything. It's because people are fleeing whatsapp due to them selling your chats to facebook or because people want a little more protection from cancel culture. I don't think there's any argument to be had as to why people are shifting apps. And yes, when people believe they are "safe" from govt spying they will use such app to "plot".

Quote HistoryQuoted: 4 AES-256 is currently believed to be quantum-resistant, isn't it? In order for the feds to break AES-256 with quantum computing, they would have to 1) create a quantum computer several orders of magnitude more powerful than anything the private sector has created, and 2) create a novel technique for breaking it. Either one of those is potentially possible, but both together seems unlikely. Besides, imagine if the government had done this. The government would be able to read every piece of information the Chinese and the Russians produce, for the next decade or two (or however long it takes the rest of the planet to catch up with their magic computer). That's the kind of breakthrough that they wouldn't tip their hand on. Even if people were planning assassinations of elected officials, it's far more likely that the NSA would consider those officials expendable in order to keep their technological advantage. They aren't going to disclose that they have broken cryptography in order to arrest a guy with a 30-round magazine in New York. Its not q computing proof but it is resistant and effectively scalable. Barring an undisclosed exploit, which as noted would be among a nations highest level secrets. Consumer grade aes isn't vastly different than government grade supposedly, they just lock down more potential exploits, a lot of them being on the hardware side of things, is my understanding. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You missing the point. 1st off, it's illegal to spy. 2nd, people believe the available public encryption is unbreakable, it's not. 3rd, the Fed is ramping up rhetoric so when it acts for no good reason, at least they warned you ahead of time. Using encryption is like protecting your gun collection with a keyed doorknob on that hollow wood door. All it does is slow things down and offers no real protection. ;) What if we start communicating in pig Latin, will that throw them off of the scent?

So OP can't back shit up. In his mind, people use Signal and the feds issued a terror alert, therefore Signal has been compromised.
Truly a dizzying intellect. OP, has it ever occurred to you that it could have been something else that led to the terror warning, including nothing at all? Especially since in the very same warning the gov intentionally conflagrated the 1/6 riots with the left wing riots that have occurred over the summer and fall? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: This post is enough to discount you as a know-nothing. There is precisely nothing that is more secure about communications done on an old phone than ones done via Signal. Honestly, this is true. More accurate to say that nothing is secure than to recommend dumb phones without encrypted messages. This is pretty simple guys.. Disagree and prove me wrong but modern encryption used by signal or other comparable options isn't worth the TIME (with current known tech) to break. Access to information is gained by other methods. Like key logging etc. Can they theoretically break modern encryption? Yes. But that's like saying a theif can pick the lock on your front door, but why would they? There is easy access ( easily broken glass window on door) right next to lock.. |

Unless there is a backdoor in a given application, the .gov goes not have the resources to crack any respectable encryption. Unless there's has been some sort of mind blowing leap in the encryption breaking theory, it takes more processing power than is available on the planet to brute force through encryption in any reasonable time.
https://www.eetimes.com/how-secure-is-aes-against-brute-force-attacks/ A powerful enough quantum computer doesn't exist yet to tackle the problem either. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.tomshardware.com/amp/news/quantum-computers-encryption-decades-researchers,38819.html |
