Signal Private Messenger: private messages and calls now for Android
Android / / December 19, 2019
Signal free mobile application is designed to provide privacy during telephone conversations and correspondence. And yes, this is exactly the application that recommends the use of Edward Snowden himself (Edward Snowden).
We already wrote about the application SignalWhen it appeared on the iOS. After exposing the revelations of the former employee of US intelligence Edward Snowden has finally become clear that privacy is now a dead letter. If you interested in authorized institutions, no secret messengers and encryption will not be saved. However, the firm Open Whisper Systems challenged the almighty Big Brother and has developed its own technology for the protection of telephone conversations and private correspondence.
Signal program is the successor of previously issued by the same developers RedPhone TextSecure and programs that provide secure voice and text communication between users. Now function of these two programs are connected together, and the interface is considerably revised in the direction of simplification.
When you first start the program you will be asked to link your account to the phone number, which will be sent a special SMS c code. You can then assign Signal as a main program for sending messages and making calls.
Signal interface is virtually identical to defoltnoy dialer so that you will understand in it without any difficulty. Select the desired contact from the built-in phone book and click on the pencil button, if you want to send a message, or with a picture of the handset if you want to call. Of course, for the encrypted communication requires that both parties used the Signal. In that case, if you select the address book someone who is not registered in the Signal, it will be sent an offer to download and install this program.
The main difference Signal program from existing competitors is reliable encryption algorithms and a simple interface. Thanks to these features, the company's Open Whisper Systems technology already used in the popular CyanogenMod system, which introduced a system of private messaging, and certain messenger WhatsApp. The expert community Signal encryption is also highly appreciated. An expert on cryptography Sooian Christopher (Christopher Soghoian) once said that "every time another user downloads and starts using the Signal, the director of the FBI let a tear."
Download and use the Signal program is completely free on devices running Android 2.3 and above.
