I saw the headline and was ready to rage about why they should just use signal instead. Then I read the article and honestly this is a fucking genius use of tech
I read it and don’t understand. Why is this better than Signal? Or the 500 other secure file/messaging protocols?
Jabber seemed to work perfectly for Snowden…
Because analysing network traffic wouldn’t allow an adversary to see what you’re sending with Signal, but they could still tell you’re sendig a secure message.
What the Guardian is doing is hiding that secure chat traffic inside the Guardian app, so packet sniffing would only show you’re accessing news.

How are they analyzing network traffic with Signal? It’s encrypted. And why does it matter if they know you’re sending a message? Literally everyone using Signal is sending a message.

It isn’t.

For France, Your a terroriste if you use signal
Then you’re also a terrorist if you use The Guardian 🤷♂️
Timing of messages. They can’t tell what you send, but can tell when
No they can’t.
E: if someone wants to provide evidence to the contrary instead of just downvoting and moving on, please, go ahead.
It’s called traffic analysis
It’s called encryption
