Welcome to Text Securely (textsecurely.com), a small, ad-free site about secure messaging: end-to-end encryption, the apps that use it, the protocols underneath, and the policy fights around them.
What you'll find here
- News, explained: app releases, security audits, vulnerabilities and research papers, with the context you need to judge them.
- Policy: EU Chat Control, lawful-access demands and the other rules that shape what your messenger is allowed to do. Policy posts are collected in the Policy section.
- Explainers: how the technology works, from key ratchets to post-quantum handshakes.
- Sources you can check: news posts end with a Sources box that links the original material, so you can read the primary documents yourself.
