Aveuglés par les faux miracles de ChatGPT, nous sommes en train d’abdiquer une nouvelle fois devant les seigneurs de la Tech. Pourtant, le modèle économique de l’IA n’a rien de nouveau. Meredith Whittaker, présidente de la messagerie cryptée Signal, met en garde contre les conséquences que pourrait avoir l’explosion d’une bulle.
I hate modern chats. They presuppose we are always online, always available to chat. They force us to see and think about them each time we get our eyes on one of our devices. Unlike mailboxes, they are never empty. We can’t even easily search through old messages (unlike the chat providers themselves, which use the logs to learn more about us). Chats are the epitome of the business idiot: they make you always busy but prevent you from thinking and achieving anything.
Despite years of official criticism of encrypted messaging, CIA Director John Ratcliffe revealed that Signal comes installed on agency computers.
Ceci est une recopie du post Instagram de Signal.
La présidente de la fondation Signal a affirmé publiquement qu'elle ne distribuerait plus la messagerie sécurisée au sein des pays ayant voté des lois visant à interdire ou amoindrir le chiffrement.
Les services de cybersécurité de Google ont alerté sur de nouvelles méthodes d’espionnage de Signal par les renseignements russes, reposant sur des QR codes.
La Chambre haute vient de voter une disposition en ce sens dans la proposition de loi contre le narcotrafic.
Le fondateur et dirigeant de telegram, Pavel Durov, est détenu en France à la surprise générale. Il a été interpellé près de Paris alors qu’il venait d’arriver avec son jet privé. L’arrestation du patron de l’une des applications les plus utilisées au monde, notamment en Ukraine et en russie, provoque depuis de nombreux commentaires, y compris sur le thème de la liberté d’expression.
New EU rules mean WhatsApp and Messenger must be interoperable with other chat apps. Here’s how that will work.
Mieux vaut ne pas utiliser WhatsApp, iMessage ou Signal dans le cadre du travail… voici pourquoi.
Ephemeral usernames instead of phone numbers safeguard privacy — and makes Signal even harder to subpoena.
The Signal Protocol is a set of cryptographic specifications that provides end-to-end encryption for private communications exchanged daily by billions of people around the world. After its publication in 2013, the Signal Protocol was adopted not only by Signal but well beyond. Technical information on the Signal Protocol can be found in the specifications section of our docs site.
Signal is the world’s most widely used truly private messaging app, and our cryptographic technologies provide extra layers of privacy beyond the Signal app itself. Since launching in 2013, the Signal Protocol—our end-to-end encryption technology—has become the de facto standard for private communication, protecting the contents of billions of conversations in WhatsApp, Google Messages, and many others. Signal also continues to invest in research and development in the pursuit of extending communications privacy. This commitment underlies our recent work to add a layer of quantum resistance to the Signal Protocol, and our previous work on metadata protection technologies that help keep personal details like your contact list, group membership, profile name, and other intimate information secure. This singular focus on preserving the ability to communicate privately is one reason that we work in the open, documenting our thinking and making our code open source and open to scrutiny—so you don’t have to take our word for it.
Signal’s mission and sole focus is private communication. For years, Signal has kept your messages private, your profile information (like your name and profile photo) private, your contacts private, and your groups private – among much else. Now we’re taking that one step further, by making your phone number on Signal more private.
The privacy-focused messaging app arose from a fringe culture that emphasized individual autonomy and skepticism of authority. As it tries to go mainstream, can it escape its roots?
