What do we want to see?

Signal’s New Usernames Help Keep the Cops Out of Your Data

Ephemeral usernames instead of phone numbers safeguard privacy — and makes the Signal messenger app even harder to subpoena.

#Whatsapp permetterà l'interoperabilità con altre piattaforme di #messaging

È anche questo un effetto del Digital Markets Act #DMA dell'#EU

We ended 2023 with a talk at #37C3. @raphaelrobert and Konrad presented the new standard for end-to-end encryption, Messaging Layer Security (MLS). The room was packed and some people couldn't attend in person – luckily the talk is now online and can be watched again.

LibreOffice supports symmetric and asymmetric encryption for OpenDocument Format (ODF) files.

Select File > Save/Save As

The "Save with password" option encrypts the file with AES-256.
The "Encrypt with GPG key" option encrypts the file with a public key.
