Six times so far ... is how often important parts of #deltachat were independently #security audited and analyzed. Thanks to IncludeSecurity, Cure53, Applied Crypto Team at ETH Zuerich and Radical Open Security.
Last audit is from December 2024 covering @rpgp , the minimal #OpenPGP Rust library that is gaining traction with others projects as well.
Shout-out to dignifiedquire and @hko for their excellent maintenance! For more info on Delta Chat related security audits: delta.chat/en/help#security-au…

in reply to Delta Chat • • •I tried to find when #Signal has published the most recent #security audit, and it turns out they either never published an audit or their code was never audited at all.
The closest thing I found is the list
community.signalusers.org/t/ov…
which only cites research papers and some evidence that in 2018 Signal paid Doyensec, but nothing got published as the result. Even then, it looks like the apps were not audited for more than 5 years since then.
