Comment on Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End Encryption
RIotingPacifist@lemmy.world 1 month agoI didn’t realize Signal now has reproducible builds (in my defense it didn’t when it launched)
and you can monitor outgoing traffic on your devise to see whether the signal app is sending data that it shouldn’t.
This is mostly useless as the traffic signal is sending is encrypted, so you really have to just trust the code.

If it’s sending 0.0kb of background data, then the client is not communicating clandestinely with the server.

Sure but it by necessity sends some encrypted data to the server, Wireshark isn’t going to tell you if that’s just your message or your message and additional information.
