Description

Silence, which was previously known as SMSSecure, serves as a comprehensive alternative to the standard text messaging app, ensuring that all messages are encrypted on the device itself, while those sent to other Silence users are also encrypted during transmission. It functions similarly to any typical SMS application, requiring no registration or additional services for your friends to access. By utilizing encrypted SMS messages, Silence eliminates the need for servers or an internet connection. The app employs the meticulously designed Signal encryption protocol to provide end-to-end encryption for your communications. Since messages are stored in an encrypted format locally, your data remains secure even if your device is lost or stolen. In essence, Silence offers a robust solution for users seeking privacy in their text messaging experience.

Description

The innovative messaging platform stands out by eliminating user IDs entirely. Unlike other applications such as Signal, Matrix, Session, Briar, Jami, and Cwtch that rely on user identifiers, SimpleX takes a different route by not employing any form of user IDs or even random numbers, significantly enhancing user privacy. Users frequently inquire about how SimpleX manages message delivery without user identifiers. To facilitate message delivery, SimpleX employs temporary anonymous pairwise identifiers for message queues, which are unique to each connection, ensuring that no long-term identifiers are utilized. You have the flexibility to select which server(s) will handle your incoming messages, while your contacts will determine the servers used to send messages to them, meaning that each conversation may operate through two different servers. This unique structure effectively minimizes the risk of metadata leakage at the application level. In addition to this, users can further enhance their privacy and safeguard their IP addresses by routing their connections through Tor when accessing messaging servers. Only client devices retain user profiles, contacts, and group information, while messages are secured with a robust two-layer end-to-end encryption system. This approach not only prioritizes user privacy but also ensures a safer messaging experience overall.
