@toychicken @leavex Yes, it is not enough to claim that the mathematical level is uncompromised. Cryptography means so much more. Cryptography is about keeping something secret, untampered and/or trusted, not mathematical naval-gazing.
Perhaps Signal did everything they could (though I doubt that), but it can’t be proven by just pointing to one part of their cryptographical protocols.
(And this is not me saying that you shouldn’t use Signal)

@ahltorp @leavex Absolutely! I'm a Signal user, and am generally very happy with it. It's fair to say that one of the biggest weaknesses in security for any software is the human that uses it. Therefore designing interfaces should be considered as much part of cyber security as mathematics. 😁
