👏 'The technology behind [the Guardian newspaper's new open source tool] #SecureMessaging conceals the fact that messaging is taking place at all by making the communication indistinguishable from other data sent to and from the app by our millions of regular users. By using the Guardian app, other users are effectively providing “cover” and helping us to protect sources.'

iMessage and Secure Communication

In the process of updating my blog to align with Fediverse standards and protocols, I realized that iMessage could be a great option for secure communication. I wasn’t aware that you can prompt a link to open a new iMessage chat.

By creating a disposable iMessage alias and disabling unknown FaceTime calls, you can keep your contact information accessible while maintaining clear boundaries.

If you were at a restaurant with your significant other, a close friend, or a business colleague, would you be okay with someone in the booth next to you obviously eavesdropping on your conversation? No. That's why I advocate for secure messaging. Everything else is just creepy.

Same idea with file storage. Would you be OK if someone went thru your desk at your office and read every piece of paper? That's what Google and Microsoft does to your email, files, and spreadsheets. Choose Nextcloud.

Would you be okay if the government came into your home to look at your photos to see who you're related to, who you've ever hung out with, where you've been? They say pictures are worth a 1,000 words. That's what Google Photos, Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, and TikTok does. They read your photos and share the data with the highest bidders.

I don’t have confirmation on this, and it was I think being mentioned in the context of more secure messaging apps like Signal (and one would guess others offering end-to-end encryption like WhatsApp too) still allowing access to unencrypted (not secure) data by parts of the phone.

Can someone confirm if this is accurate?

5 reasons you should be using Signal

- It’s the Easiest Way to Text Securely
- You Don’t Miss Out on Any Features
- Sharing Files Is Much Better
- SMS Between Android and iPhone Is Still a Hassle
- The Alternatives Aren't As Robust

The author makes a few good points, others are debatable, especially with both google & Apple onboard the RCS Wagon now. Still, I believe Signal a much better alternative.

I did a talk at #hackmas on "Secure Messaging (and attacks against it)" and the great organization team has already put the video recording online at
media.ccc.de/v/26cd6d27-247f-5. Many thanks to the audience for so many insightful questions and discussions - it is rare that the audience is so engaged and aware of nuance! Slides are available at mayrhofer.eu.org/talk/secure-m

Abstract: Secure messaging apps are one of the most-used app categories on current mobile devices, and a significant subset of human communication is handled through them. This makes them an interesting target for forensics, surveillance, and general information collection for intelligence services and police institutions. In this talk, we will discuss various options for such surveillance and their respective difficulties, pointing out which options do not seem realistic given all the practical considerations.

TL;DR: There is no good option for surveiling E2EE messenger apps; all of them are broken or practically unrealistic in various ways. I don't see an option to do that without real, significant problems that make all of us less safe. Please stop claiming that it is possible without these nasty issues.
