Since a few days, it has started a conflict of “the digital” between the Message and the Signal. After the article is written by an activist, conservative, american, Pavel Durov (CEO of Telegram) stated that the Signal allows the american government to spiunojë citizens. Elon Musk went on to say that there is a weakness to be outstanding.
Kriptografia: Telegram vs Signal
In this article, konservatorit Christopher Rufo, I remember that the Signal it has received $ 3 million from the government of the united states. At the head of the board of directors of the Foundation, the Signal is Katherine Maher, of which, during the Arab Spring, he worked for the Institute for a Democratic, National, an organization funded by the government. According to the Rufos, Maher used the technology for the u.s. to advance the interests of the united states in the so-called revolutions in color.
In practice, however, Rufo says that the encryption of the Signal (used by WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Google, Messages, and Skype) has been developed in collaboration with the government and, therefore, allows for the spiunimin of the people. This conspiracy theory was supported indirectly by Pavel Durov. MANY of the Telegram stated that the message signal is not private, as it can be read and used in a court of law as evidence.
Durov also points out that the Signal is open source, but the researchers could not verify whether the code is posted on GitHub is the same as the one used for the iOS. Elon Musk finally said “to 11”, and stated that the Signal has a number of weaknesses in the backlog (Musk had recommended before the use of the service).
Meredith Whittaker, President of the Signal, said Musk, pointing out that it is not reported in any of the downsides, and that the protocol is kriptografik is a benchmark for the industry. Telegrami, on the other hand, it is not safe for the encryption must be enabled by the user (Secret Chats).
Matthew Green, an associate professor of kriptografisë at Johns Hopkins, also spoke on this issue by specifying that the Message is not a service to be safe. Telegrami there is no host-to-host, from the border at the bottom to enable it as the default. To say that it is more secure than the Signal, as it claims to Pavel Durov, is equivalent to saying that the ketchup is better than oil, synthetic reflection on the motor of the car.
