Hi All,
I wanted to ask if folks have any preferred end to end encryption communications software they like, for chat/txt type messaging? Quite specifically:
I'm looking for:
- Stuff which relies on user-created encryption keys (pgp/gpg or otherwise)
- optionally, has a distributed trust validation model built in (gpg signing use would do it)
- Stuff which relies on generalized network/messaging infrastructure
- Anyone remember gpg plug ins for irc clients way back when?
- Remember when gpg over xmpp got hot?
I am *not* looking for:
- Anything which replaces distributed trust (gpg and human validation), with cenralized authority (Signal, iMessage, ssl/tls/CA based models-)
- Maybe apps can run on popular mobile platforms (iOS, Android)
- Maybe apps which can run on desktop (Pidgn? Does it have these features?)
Any thoughts?
Best,
.ike
