.@BriarApp definitely deserves more attention from the research community. They are trying to do something quite challenging with secure ad hoc messaging.

A nice open research challenge is to try to prove the security of Briar’s protocol stack. Tricky given the complex layering involved.

Overall, we are happy to report that Briar had done a pretty good job in their crypto design. Disclosure was very smooth.

Congrats to Yuanming Song on finding these vulnerabilities during his semester project making a “deep dive” on Briar’s cryptographic protocols.

The report of the security researchers at @ETH_en is available here: ethz.ch/content/dam/ethz/spe… (PDF) "These claims, if true, would mean that Briar offers a higher level of security than almost all existing messaging applications."

These are the researchers that also did MEGA: Malleable Encryption Goes Awry mega-awry.io/ Breaking Threema breakingthe3ma.app/ Breaking Bridgefy eikendev.github.io/breaking-… The analysis of Briar didn't get its own homepage.

Found a cool way to repurpose some old tech, side loaded an old version of @BriarApp to run on my ancient q10 to make it a secure mobile messenger and it works pretty well paired with a battery powered travel router it's a neat little package #comms #secure #mobile #offgrid
