Secure Phone communications

Home ▹ Free resources ▹ Guide:

Anything encrypted is better. SMS and voice was built to be intercepted and recorded (since the paper telegram days). Apple messenger and Facetime are respected, however requires iphone. Older phones have lots of vulnerabilities – not recommended

Signal: Shift to usernames, useful for payments, degree of anonymity but still need mobile to initially register; Video conferencing facility is much more advanced now.

 

  • Signal replaces SMS / voice / video
  • Session a version of signal that does not require a phone number for your account. Fork of SIgnal, new identity each session
  • Keet.io Keet only shares end-to-end encrypted data between the participants in every call.
  • Firefox Relay⁩ Masks your phone number with an alias
  • DELETE - Keybase Acquired by Zoom. Zoom is partly owned by Israeili spyware company NSO.
  • DELETE - WIRE Move to high cost model, cryptobro fascists.
  • DELETE - Telegram Has never implemented e2ee effectively. User data is maintained and likely to be handed over to EU due to Pavel Durov’s arrest. Content control is unsafe and carries risk of doxxing. Common route for message injection of Dark Caracal and Pegasus spyware used to assassinate dissidents by Israel.
  • DELETE - Whatsapp Never been safe. Delete. E2EE unimplemented, Meta has handed geolocation data to ISR to target 160 murdered journalists. Meta also trains facial and targeting machine learning on SM content.
  • DELETE - Wickr compromised in 2021
