Last Thursday, the company announced that the analyzer has now been updated with a new capability, developed by the firm, that allows clients to decode information and data from Signal.
Signal, owned by the Signal Technology Foundation, uses a special open source encryption system called Signal Protocol, which was thought to make it nigh-on impossible for a third party to break into a conversation or access data being shared on the platform. It does so by employing what’s called “end-to-end encryption.”
The protocol has been adopted by the likes of Facebook, Skype and WhatsApp to protect its users, with Signal receiving funding for its product from free speech organizations and journalism watchdogs. The Freedom of the Press Foundation provided initial funding for the app’s development. After launching in 2018, the Signal Foundation’s mission statement was “to support, accelerate, and broaden Signal’s mission of making private communication accessible and ubiquitous.”
