#Converso: Testing a new #encrypted messaging app's extraordinary claims

https://crnkovic.dev/testing-converso/

New messaging app #Converso makes bold claims about #privacy, #encryption, #security and bunch other ways it’s supposedly better then existing apps like #WhatsApp or #Signal.

The reality is that it’s all lies - and gets debunked step by step:

"Unfortunately, #Converso is not open source and their website is totally silent on cryptographic primitives and protocols, which is highly unusual for a self-proclaimed 'state-of-the-art' privacy application."

"Highly unusual" is the understatement of the century. If anyone believes encryption software can reliably protect their privacy without publishing full source code, I have a bridge they may wish to purchase.

Okay, this is just embarrassing...

Whoever thinks any #SingleVendor / #SingleProvoider solution can be good, should read this teardown of #Converso:

#TLDR: Compare to that #ANØM was an engineering Masterpiece and #EncroChat gave all their shits to protect users.

Si feu servir l'appli "#Converso" ... doncs deixeu-ho córrer, no ofereix cap mena d'encriptació segura, i les errades de disseny en quant a seguretat són monumentals. Tot propaganda.

Aquí ens ho analitzen pas a pas, de la mà d'algú que domina el disseny d'applis de mòbil, javascript, i bases de dades: https://crnkovic.dev/testing-converso/
