Text Securely (textsecurely.com) is a small, fast, ad-free blog about secure messaging: end-to-end encryption, the apps that use it, the protocols underneath, and the policy fights around them.
What we cover
- 📱 Apps: Signal, WhatsApp, iMessage, Matrix/Element, SimpleX, Delta Chat, Threema, Wire, XMPP and friends
- 🧪 Protocols & research: the Signal Protocol, MLS, post-quantum key exchange, audits and papers
- 🐛 Security: vulnerabilities, advisories and patches you should know about
- 🏛️ Policy: chat control, lawful access and the regulation that shapes what your messenger can do
How we work
Every news post links to its original sources, so you can always check the primary material yourself. We summarise, explain and add context; we don't invent quotes or numbers. If we get something wrong, we fix it and mark the post as updated.
