Briar Messenger: End-to-End Encryption and Tor Anonymity

The flawed reasoning behind #chatcontrol Maybe the Danish Minister of Justice, Peter Hummelgaard, is not aware that encryption is a relatively simple mathematical operation to implement in a code so banning it is like banning multiplication or prime numbers. With a backdoor introduced in end-to-end encryption, we will all be permanently vulnerable to massive, irreversible data breaches from hackers. The pedos will quickly find out how to implement and use an encryption algorithm in customised communication software if the official messaging channels (Messenger, WhatsApp etc.) get backdoors. I don't know what the solution is to child abuse, but I know that chatcontrol is not it.

All encryption is applying masks and applying XOR operations Or using an S- box or Substitution box. Which is a 2D substitution table originally invented by Kaisa Nyberg. It cannot be banned otherwise almost nothing will work in Denmark. Bitwise circular shifts and Bitwise XORs are the only operations utilized in AES-256. This massive intervention by Danish govt.

Encryption is employed to secure both data stored on computer systems and data transmitted over networks. It provides protection for sensitive information over the internet. Common applications include securing financial transactions and safeguarding private communications. Beyond confidentiality, encryption supports data integrity—ensuring information has not been altered—authentication—verifying the identity of communicating parties—and non-repudiation—confirming that messages were sent and received as intended. #CCG #TechPolicy #CCGexplains #VocabMondays #encryption #personaldata [ Tech policy, tech governance, encryption, personal information, CCG Explains, terms used in tech policy ]

🔒 At CryptPad, we’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: #ChatControl would be a disaster for privacy 15 EU member states now back this proposal, despite experts warning it would put everyone at risk while doing little to protect children. Client-side scanning would force providers to break end-to-end encryption and scan private content on personal devices. 📢 That’s why we welcome the launch of Fight Chat Control (https://lnkd.in/dsb8-MUM), a resource to understand the dangers and contact your representatives. If you live in the EU, your voice matters. Please reach out to your Member of the European Parliament (MEP) and ask them to oppose it, especially if your country currently supports Chat Control. 👉 More context in our original article: https://lnkd.in/dMPAJW_5 #CryptPad #PrivacyFirst #Encryption #DigitalSovereignty #Stop #ChatControl

Okay, chat monitoring will help find some criminals, but others will have no problem finding ways to continue communicating undetected, anonymously, and encrypted. Much worse is the fact that the “back doors” open up new avenues for criminal activity. In the end, the losers will be “normal” citizens or companies that depend on secure and confidential communication.

Another insightful collectioon from LCG Discovery Experts, LLC Ephemeral messaging apps may promise privacy through disappearing content, but they can't make legal obligations vanish. Organizations that fail to address this challenge risk turning everyday communications into compliance landmines. How is your organization preparing for the ephemeral evidence challenge? #DigitalForensics #Compliance #DataGovernance #LegalTech #CyberSecurity #RiskManagement

Don’t just delete—disintegrate. Solid state disintegrators destroy digital storage for good. Used by government, tech, and legal firms where security is non-negotiable.

Stateless forwarding + end-to-end encryption = nothing for adversaries to seize, nothing for auditors to question. See the numbers in our latest policy analysis. Read the brief: https://hubs.ly/Q03F5zCQ0

Data sovereignty is no longer a paperwork exercise—it is an engineering challenge. With Graphiant, sovereignty is built into the packet path itself. Read the full brief to see how a stateless core, precise routing, and real‑time audit together set a new baseline for secure cross‑border connectivity.
