    Is Signal safe? What to know about this encrypted messaging app | Proton

    Signal is often considered the gold standard in private and secure messaging. But is Signal safe? How much of its reputation is justified?

      I'd like a comparison of Signal vs Jami, Briar, and SimpleX. They are all decentralised to some degree.

          Signal is safe enough depending on your threat model

          If you worry about aws centralization and outages then signal isn't a good option

          If your worried about sgx enclave exploitation then it's not a good match

          If your worried about us intelligence monitoring traffic then it's not a good fit

          So signal is fine for person to person western traffic

          Not a good fit for a country needing isolated highly secure messaging... I.e. the french government should NOT use signal, centralized in America, sgx exploits are a concern, and exposing the social and communication graph to the us intelligence services isn't in the french national interest

              If you are designing the french government communication systems, would signal work for your requirements?

                  Then signal probably isn't for you
