@IzzyOnDroid@mastodon.technology @fdroidorg@mastodon.technology FYI, that SimpleX thing looks very suspicious from a quick look, it smells of snake-oil to me
@IzzyOnDroid@mastodon.technology @fdroidorg@mastodon.technology (Particularly because it's making misleading and unsubstantiated claims on its website about other networks being vulnerable to MITM, and fails to provide a concise answer to "how, exactly, is this more private than other systems with identifiers")
@IzzyOnDroid@mastodon.technology @fdroidorg@mastodon.technology After looking into it a bit further with some friends, it looks like they're basically trying to implement Sealed Sender. And while they've at least documented their design (unlike Signal), it's broken in all the same ways, and doesn't really provide any more protection than a user-identifier-based system would.
