Signal provides a messaging platform that prioritizes user privacy through end-to-end encryption. This means that messages and calls are secure and can only be accessed by the intended recipients, ensuring that even Signal cannot read users' messages. The platform includes features like voice and video calls, group chats, and encrypted stickers, all available without long-distance charges. Unlike many tech companies, Signal operates as a nonprofit, which allows it to focus solely on user privacy without the influence of advertising or data tracking. Its funding comes from grants and donations, making it independent and dedicated to providing a secure communication service.

To combat these threats, Signal Messenger has introduced security updates to counteract malicious device-linking attempts.
Decrypt’s Art, Fashion, and Entertainment Hub. Discover SCENEThe ‘Salt Typhoon’ cyberattacks by Chinese hackers on governments and businesses have been described as a “watershed moment” by digital privacy advocates, after U.S. officials recommended the use of end-to-end encryption in their aftermath.After U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) officials urged Americans to use encrypted messaging apps in the wake of the cyberattack, Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn, creator of privacy coin Zcash, tweeted, "So apparently U.S. national security orgs are advising Americans to use end-to-end-encryption because the Chinese Communist Party is reading your unencrypted messages.” He added that, “Hopefully this is the watershed moment when the U.S. law-enforcement and natsec culture flips to pro-encryption."So apparently U.S
As information has become electronic, the encryption of that information has become imperative. And with the news Tuesday (Aug. 13) that, after an eight-year-long process, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has finalized its principal set of encryption algorithms designed to withstand cyberattacks from a quantum computer, businesses dealing with an emergent and sophisticated breed of cybercriminals can breathe a small sigh of relief. While observers may be wondering what the big deal is about post-quantum (PQ) cryptography — particularly when nobody has actually seen or used a real quantum computer, and their commercial viability remains perpetually 10 years away — the big deal, so to speak, is actually a simple one: post-quantum security standards are by definition safer, more resilient, and more flexible than existing classical measures
Microsoft is requiring staff in China to use iPhones for work starting in September.The measure essentially bans Android-powered devices for these workers and is part of Microsoft’s Secure Future Initiative, designed to make sure all employees use the Microsoft Authenticator password manager and Identity Pass app, Bloomberg reported Monday (July 8).Microsoft will require its hundreds of employees based in China to use only Apple devices to verify their identities when logging in to work computers or phones, the report said, citing an internal memo.The move underscores the increasing differences between mobile ecosystems in China and other countries, per the report. For example, Apple’s iOS store is available in China, but Google’s isn’t, leaving Chinese companies like Huawei to operate their own platforms.Microsoft decided to block access from those devices to its corporate resources as they lack Google’s mobile services in the country, according to the report. Staff members using Android devices will be provided with an iPhone 15.The move could call renewed attention to the iPhone’s standing in China, the report said. Since last year, an increasing number of Chinese government agencies and state-owned companies have required staff to stop using iPhones at work, citing security worries.Those same concerns led the Cyberspace Administration of China in April to order Apple to remove WhatsApp, Threads, Telegram and Signal from its App Store in China.Apple’s place in the Chinese smartphone market has risen and fallen over the past year. The most recent reporting showed that the company ended May with 11% of the Chinese smartphone market, even as iPhone sales rose 0.9% year over year,“While Apple bulls may note the data is backwards looking and is not likely indicative of Apple’s AI smartphone opportunity next year, we note that iPhone share loss to Huawei and other Chinese OEMs acts as a material governor on iPhone unit growth,” UBS analyst David Vogt wrote this month.Meanwhile, last month saw a report that companies such as Google and OpenAI had begun conducting more vetting of staff and prospective hires due to concerns about Chinese espionage
The thing about far-away technological innovations is that they get closer to reality each day. And with the news Tuesday (May 21) that Zoom is making post-quantum end-to-end encryption (E2EE) globally available across its Zoom Workplace platform, specifically Zoom Meetings with Zoom Phone and Zoom Rooms coming soon, preparing for the operational and cybersecurity realities of the upcoming quantum internet is top of mind for forward-thinking organizations. That’s because quantum computers, once fully realized, could break widely used encryption algorithms such as RSA and ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography), which underpin the security of online transactions and communications. This looming threat necessitates the development and adoption of post-quantum encryption techniques
