| 47 | + Description: |
| 48 | + C: >- |
| 49 | + <p>Security assessment was done by Trail of Bits in November 2022.</p> |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | + <p>SimpleX Chat features:</p> |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | + <ul> |
| 54 | + <li>end-to-end encrypted messages, with editing, replies and deletion of messages.</li> |
| 55 | + <li>sending end-to-end encrypted images and files.</li> |
| 56 | + <li>single-use and long-term user addresses.</li> |
| 57 | + <li>secret chat groups - only group members know it exists and who is the member.</li> |
| 58 | + <li>end-to-end encrypted audio and video calls.</li> |
| 59 | + <li>private instant notifications.</li> |
| 60 | + <li>portable chat profile - you can transfer your chat contacts and history to another device (terminal or mobile).</li> |
| 61 | + <li>encrypted app database and files in the app storage (except videos).</li> |
| 62 | + <li>18 interface languages.</li> |
| 63 | + </ul> |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | + <p>SimpleX Chat advantages:</p> |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | + <ul> |
| 68 | + <li>Full privacy of your identity, profile, contacts and metadata: unlike any other existing messaging platform, SimpleX |
| 69 | + uses no phone numbers or any other identifiers assigned to the users - not even random numbers. This protects the privacy |
| 70 | + of who you are communicating with, hiding it from SimpleX platform servers and from any observers.</li> |
| 71 | + <li>Complete protection against spam and abuse: as you have no identifier on SimpleX platform, you cannot be contacted |
| 72 | + unless you share a one-time invitation link or an optional temporary user address.</li> |
| 73 | + <li>Full ownership, control and security of your data: SimpleX stores all user data on client devices, the messages |
| 74 | + are only held temporarily on SimpleX relay servers until they are received.</li> |
| 75 | + <li>Decentralized network: you can use SimpleX with your own servers and still communicate with people using the servers |
| 76 | + that are pre-configured in the apps or any other SimpleX servers.</li> |
| 77 | + </ul> |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | + <p>You can connect to anybody you know via link or scan QR code (in the video call or in person) and start sending messages |
| 80 | + instantly - no emails, phone numbers or passwords needed.</p> |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | + <p>Your profile and contacts are only stored in the app on your device - our servers do not have access to this information.</p> |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | + <p>All messages are end-to-end encrypted using open-source double-ratchet protocol; the messages are routed via our servers |
| 85 | + using open-source SimpleX Messaging Protocol.</p> |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | + <p>Please send us any questions via the app or submit an issue on GitHub.</p> |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | + <p>Follow us on Mastodon, Twitter and Reddit for the latest updates.</p> |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | + <p>Once you install SimpleX Chat, "connect to developers" for any questions, to share feedback, and to discover |
| 92 | + the groups (the link for directory service will be in response).</p> |
