Signal is the most secure messaging application, or at least that's what the celebrity tells us Edward Snowden, the man who provided so much information about how the NSA agency works.
Snowden he stated that he uses the application daily Signal for Android to communicate with various people, promoting it as the most secure text messaging application available at the moment, it being offered for the time being only for the Android platform.
Signal is the result of the combination of Textsecure si RedPhone, the source code of the application being offered as open source so that everyone can be convinced that American government agencies do not have access to it to retrieve information from Android users' terminals.
According to the creators Signal, the application encrypts communications both when they are sent from the terminals, as well as when they are received in the servers and re-sent to other terminals, as iMessage does, the difference being that in the case of Signal there is no doubt that the NSA or other agencies would have access to the data.
As always, Signal uses your existing phone number and address book. There are no separate logins, usernames, passwords, or PINs to manage or lose. We cannot hear your conversations or see your messages, and no one else can either. Everything in Signal is always end-to-end encrypted, and painstakingly engineered in order to keep your communication safe.
Considering that the Signal application is currently offered only for the Android platform, you will not be able to install it on your iPhone terminals, but its creators will probably want to publish it in the App Store, especially since its source code is offered open source for users .
Until then, it is available for download from Google Play or from the users' website, having the recommendation of Edward Snowden.
