Lynda, to privacy in Thoughts on Simplex Chat? Is It Secure? Is it the new signal?

Having unique one-time (non-reusable) invite ID is great.

The wat SimpleX uses one-way queues, and then distributes those queues among servers offers a way to mitigate communication correlation (if the servers are independent and won’t collude). Or you can just self host and not worry. Self hosting an onion service is easy.

Running SimpleX through a tor proxy (or VPN) offers even more advantages (if you think you need them).

Perhaps the only downside is SimpleX still controls who gets to be a public server (anyone can self host or offer servers, but they won’t be integrated). I have no way of knowing if the servers are owned by a single entity. This part is not “open”.

This is not a new Signal, this makes Signal obsolete.

jackalope,

How so?

No spam and no identifiers (phone number, email, ids, etc.) by design. Local encrypted sign-in. Your whole chat system-in-a-file .zip. Disposal, one-time, connections. This is awesome!

Simplex doesn’t need phone number so its different from signal
