RE: Caesar used Encryption and so should You

If it has a backdoor that the government or admins can access, then it's no good.
The only enemy I fear when it comes to reading my messages would be the government. Not "hackers".

So I personally do not trust Wickr, although I'd like to be able to.

    Where is that backdoor though?

    • The "activist" friends I have, that does a lot of work with cybersecurity, use Wickr, and I've never heard of if having a backdoor before.

      Wickr is closed source, so you wouldn't know.

      So, you just claim it have a backdoor for governments to use, without actually knowing?

      • Isn't that a tiny bit, I don't know, not credible at all?

        It's not that I know it has a backdoor or not.

        It's that I don't know, and thus, I can't trust it.
        I can't verify the code myself, so I can't say whether it has a backdoor or not.
        But after the NSA stuff got leaked, it's smartest and safest to assume that it does, until you can verify it personally.
