people have cast doubt over the quality of Telegram’s encryption, given that the company uses its own proprietary encryption algorithm, created by Durov’s brother
To be fair: someone somewhere has to make algorithms that we use. I honestly don’t know if Telegram’s encryption is strong or how strong based on their white paper, but I’m interested in an unbiased evaluation.

Developers should not design encryption algorithms. They should instead implement algorithms that were designed by a mathematician.

agree with the notion that any homebrew business is questionable but he is a mathematician
