stf<p>huh <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/trailofbits" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trailofbits</span></a> did an audit of <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/simplex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>simplex</span></a> - only the "protocol spec" <a href="https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/blob/stable/docs/SimpleX_Design_Review_2024_Summary_Report_12_08_2024.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/simplex-chat/simple</span><span class="invisible">x-chat/blob/stable/docs/SimpleX_Design_Review_2024_Summary_Report_12_08_2024.pdf</span></a></p><p>quite limited scope. and last time i looked at the spec i lost my appetite, but apparently there have been updates, like addition of sntrup pq kem. so maybe this has improved? still wouldn't use it the supply chain attack surface is begging for a "soon" not an "if". and the global transcript of group chats was out of scope in this audit. so, meh?</p>

Seldon<p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/simplexchat" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>simplexchat</span></a> seems like an intriguing <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>privacy</span></a>-focused, <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/decentralized" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>decentralized</span></a> messenger app. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/trailofbits" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>trailofbits</span></a> conducted a <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>security</span></a> audit late last year and the publication is available to read if anyone is curious. However, it would be beneficial if there are a few more audits performed given the boasting on their website regarding the privacy and security of the messenger. Audits can be expensive, but the assurance our <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/data" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>data</span></a> is safe is paramount. </p><p><a href="https://github.com/trailofbits/publications/blob/master/reviews/SimpleXChat.pdf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/trailofbits/publica</span><span class="invisible">tions/blob/master/reviews/SimpleXChat.pdf</span></a></p>
