France creates a secure messaging app to keep its president off Telegram

in #technology6 years ago (edited)

Telegram is about to lose some more customers following the Russia ban, albeit for very different reasons. The French government is testing an encrypted messaging app that would keep officials' data on servers inside the country. It's worried about the "potential breaches" that could happen if data was encrypted in the US or Russia, and it's easy to see why. Between Russia's demand for Telegram encryption keys and Facebook's data sharing scandal, France is concerned that sensitive chats could end up in the wrong hands.

Only 20 officials are trying the app right now, but it will ideally become mandatory for the government by the summer.

It's not guaranteed that the app will help. The developers would have to be certain that hackers can't compromise the encryption keys or otherwise intercept messages. If it does work as promised, though, it could set a precedent for countries using their own secure chat apps as a precautionary measure.
