Encrypted Messaging And Calling

Joep Cremers — Fri, 06 Nov 2015 17:37:16 +0000

Signal is a free and open source software application that employs end-to-end encryption, allowing users to send end-to-end encrypted group, text, picture, and video messages, and have encrypted phone conversations between Signal users on both iPhone and Android. Although Signal uses telephone numbers as contacts, calls and messages actually use your data connection; therefore both parties to the conversation must have Internet access on their mobile devices. Due to this, Signal users don’t incur SMS and MMS fees. How to use Signal
