We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. πŸ“„.pdf
In 2023, Signal was the first mainstream messenger to enable post-quantum cryptography. We’re still ahead of the (elliptical) curve, implementing a new hybrid PQ ratchet ensuring Forward Secrecy & Post-Compromise Security even in a post-quantum world.
A reminder that Signal will never reach out to you proactively, never send you a Signal message, and never ask for your verification code. The only way to correspond with Signal is via email (support@signal.org) or the Signal Support Center (support.signal.org).
Until now, if you lost or broke your phone, your Signal message history was gone, a real challenge for everyone whose most important conversations happen in Signal. So, with careful design & development, we’re rolling out opt-in secure backups. Secure backups will let you save an archive of your Signal messages remotely in privacy-preserving form, refreshed daily. Now available in the latest Android beta release, rolling out to iOS & Desktop soon
