Dozens of the world's biggest sites including Zoom, Duolingo and Lloyds bank are having issues - Amazon Web Services says it's identified a "potential root cause".
@signalapp I think that technically Signal could be made to run on a way more distributed architecture, like that of ed2k (amule, emule) and XMPP, with the same level of security it has today (that is due to the client being open source and very well audited at least once in a year: community.signalusers.org/t/ov…), if @signalapp developers made the server code public too, and changed the code of the server to let the servers' admins configure a cache for messages and attachments on their own server, or optionally on external servers which would not need then to be hosted in the usual, most used and shitty "clouds", like AWS, Azure, and so on.
Let’s collect past security audits here: Formal audits Year Auditor(s) Sponsor App/Component Published Link Last update / extended 2013 iSEC Partners (NCC Group) Open Technology Fund RedPhone and TextSecure ❌ Blog post 2014 Frosch et al.
@jones The server code is public and Free under the AGPLv3 licence: github.com/signalapp/Signal-Se… You can run your own, but then you can only talk with people on the same server. There is no federation or decentralization of any kind. There are some federated and decentralized chat apps; they have points for and against them. @aral @signalapp
