Spyware with some limited desktop abilities.

this proprietary chat app is secure because it uses E2EE

[-] hackris@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Every single time I recommend Signal to anyone, I get told, that WhatsApp already has E2EE and that there is no reason to switch because of that. Like, give me the proof the keys aren't sent to Facebook man.

Technically all security is only possible through obscurity. If everyone had your private key, it would no longer be secure because it is no longer obscure.

[-] Dark_Arc@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

That's not what this means at all. Security by obscurity is referencing software that itself has secret pieces that are (to the software authors) "security features" which are only secure so long as their implementation details remain secret.

Software using a key is not security by obscurity, knowing that a key is used by the software does not result in the application being compromised.

Software that uses one secret key for all users embedded in the binary is security by obscurity.

I thought it was referring to something being secure because few people are using it, so nobody is targeting it.

Windows... When even the virus needs a day zero patch...

๐Ÿคซ "It's not used in the wild...yet."

Also, made me think about how micosoft has applied this to their settings. The microsoft account settings are horrible.

That is a fantastic wojak.

Sister communities:

Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Language/ัะทั‹ะบ/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.
