Best Texting Apps with Excellent Security Omigo.Ir/R/3Ch1 : ﻟﯿﻨﮏ (Omigo.Ir/Qrmvcdifapricx) Hildanoori ﺧﻮاﻧﺪن 13 دﻗﯿﻘﻪ Best Texting Apps with excellent security omigo.ir/r/3ch1 : ﻟﯿﻨﮏ (omigo.ir/qrmvcdifapricx) HildaNoori ﺧﻮاﻧﺪن 13 دﻗﯿﻘﻪ We’ve given priority to services with excellent security practices. All services on this list implement some form of end-to-end encryption, which means not even the service provider can read message contents. Some services go a step further by putting security at the center of the product, incorporating additional safeguards like decentralized networks and self-destructing messages. The 7 Best Texting Apps WhatsApp for a balance among features, security, and convenience Viber for public group chats Telegram for speed Signal for simplicity Einricht for security => Download: Facebook Messenger for doing more than just chatting Tox for a decentralized chat service ********************************************************************** WhatsApp (iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, Web) Best texting app for a balance among features, security, and convenience WhatsApp screenshots WhatsApp is the undisputed ruler of free mobile messaging in the West. Launched in 2009 as a way to send messages over a data connection rather than SMS, WhatsApp was eventually acquired by Facebook in 2014. Since then, the service has grown both its feature set and user base, exceeding a billion daily users in 2017. The app is a simple messaging client that supports basic text chat, as well as photos, videos, and voice messaging. You can also send files to other users on WhatsApp as long as they’re under 100MB. Chats take the form of one-on-one interactions with other WhatsApp users or group chats of up to 256 participants. In April 2016, the company rectified one of the longstanding criticisms of the service by adding end-to-end encryption. All messages sent over modern versions of WhatsApp are now secured, including file transfers. Encrypted messages are removed from WhatsApp’s servers once they’re delivered. WhatsApp has a distinctive look and feel. Its signature double tick next to each message indicates that a message has been sent (one checkmark) and delivered (two checkmarks). When the two ticks turn blue, you know that the recipient has read your message too. You can further customize your experience by changing the chat wallpaper under the app’s settings, renaming groups, and setting custom alerts on a per-chat basis. WhatsApp users can place free voice and video calls to other users of the service. Group calls can be made with up to four people, and all communication is secured with the same end-to-end encryption. You can also download WhatsApp desktop apps for Windows and Mac, or access the service via a browser at web.whatsapp.com. WhatsApp Price: Free ************************************************************************ Viber (iOS, Android, Mac, Windows) Best texting app for public group chats Viber screenshots 1 Viber is another great all-around entry to the messaging space, with large user bases in India, the U.S., Russia, and Brazil. The app fuses text and media messaging with a free voice and video call service that can even be extended to users who aren’t currently using Viber. Talk to individuals or create a group chat with up to 250 participants, where you can share instant voice and video messages without having to make a call. It’s perfect for when you’re too busy to talk and too lazy to type. While many other apps include simple voice messaging (like WhatsApp, above), Viber makes it just as easy to send a video message for a more personal touch. Plus, GIFs and stickers are built into your chats to help liven up conversations. End-to-end encryption is standard on all Viber communications. You can go a step further and exchange private keys with certain contacts to maintain security (and you’ll be notified if their details change too). To do this, you’ll need to tap Free Viber Call, talk to the person in question, and verify their identity; then both parties will tap the lock icon on the call screen. After that, you’ll see each other’s private keys and can choose to Trust this contact. In addition to free voice and video calling to other Viber users, a service called Viber Out lets you call any mobile or landline in the world. You’ll have to pay for the privilege, and what fees you pay depend on where you’re trying to call. It’s like Skype, except with better security practices. Viber uses an understated, minimal design with an optional Dark Mode available under the app’s Appearance menu. Chats and calls are delegated to separate tabs, with Viber’s non-essential features (like the Sticker Market) placed on a separate third tab. If a chat gets too rowdy, you can swipe left and choose to Mute or Snooze it. If you have an important conversation you’d like to keep handy, you can Pin it. You don’t even really need friends to make the most of Viber. Check out Viber communities — essentially large group chats with strangers — or start your own to meet new people. These public chats can have an unlimited number of members and feature robust controls for admins to moderate their chats. These controls let you manage who’s in the group and who can post, as well as changing the community’s look and feel with a new background and group description. Viber Price: Free ************************************************************************ Telegram (iOS, Android, Web, Mac, Windows, Linux) The best texting app for speed Telegram screenshots Telegram is one of the original secure messaging apps that puts security at the heart of the app. You can use it to send text messages, photos, videos, and files to other Telegram users, you can create group chats with a whopping 200,000 participants, and your conversations are stored in the cloud and accessible from any Telegram client. Telegram’s “Secret Chats” encrypt messages on both ends: Just start a new message then choose New secret chat from the menu. You can also set self- destruct timers for any secret messages you send so that they won’t hang around once they’ve served their purpose. Secret chats aren’t stored in the cloud like regular chats. But even your regular chats in Telegram are encrypted, stored on the server, then decrypted when they’re downloaded. This gives you the option of choosing between highly secure messaging and a more convenient, slightly less secure option. You can use both interchangeably, as you see fit. By distributing their servers throughout the world, Telegram claims to be the fastest chat service — and it certainly passed our tests. Unlike many competing services, Telegram doesn’t cater to voice or video calling. This is strictly a messaging app — one that looks and feels very similar to WhatsApp, right down to the busy decorative backgrounds that you can change under the Appearance menu. It’s basically a WhatsApp clone in all but its security practices. Finally, Telegram has an open API, which means users are free to build their own unofficial apps for use with the service. This has given birth to projects like Unigram, a Windows 10-optimized third-party client, and a command line version of Telegram for Linux users. Telegram Price: Free ********************************************************************* Signal (iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, Linux) Best texting app for simplicity Signal screenshots Signal is one of the most unremarkable-looking texting apps. It features a single screen for all of your chats and a single compose button. There’s little in the way of customization available. It’s frequently recommended as a WhatsApp alternative: While chatting, you’ll even notice WhatsApp-style double ticks to denote message status. Signal also includes free one-on-one voice and video calling to other Signal users. These chats are encrypted just like other messages sent via the app. 2 You can send text, photos, videos, documents, and voice messages to individual or group conversations, but unlike with WhatsApp, there’s no limit on the number of people you can add to a group. The app uses end-to-end encryption to secure all messages sent via the service, with the option of setting expiration dates for each conversation. Once your messages expire, they’re no longer recoverable. There’s also a handy “Note to Self” contact for you to store your thoughts. You can download a desktop app for Windows, Mac, and Linux to bring the full suite of Signal features to your computer too. And on Android, Signal can even replace your stock SMS app. This allows you to send Signal messages and regular SMS messages to non-Signal users from a single interface. (This doesn’t work for iOS users on account of how messaging works in the Apple ecosystem.) Signal Price: Free ******************************************************************** Einricht (iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, Linux) : Best texting app for security Einricht screenshots If security is of primary importance to you, there’s certainly no shortage of chat apps to choose from. But Einricht might be the most secure app of its kind, thanks to a few features not seen in Telegram, Signal, or elsewhere. The app is a standard messaging app for individuals or groups of up to 10 people. You can send text, video, images, and files of less than 10MB securely and privately. End-to-end encryption is standard, with all new correspondence sent with a new key. (Einricht includes limited voice calling between two users, which is also encrypted on both ends.) All messages expire up to six days after being delivered, and a feature called Shredder overwrites your deleted messages to make data recovery next to impossible. You don’t even need a phone number or email address to get started with Einricht, which means no identifying information is tied to your account.

  • CCIA Comments in ITU CWG-Internet OTT Open Consultation.Pdf
    CCIA Response to the Open Consultation of the ITU Council Working Group on International Internet-related Public Policy Issues (CWG-Internet) on the “Public Policy considerations for OTTs” Summary. The Computer & Communications Industry Association welcomes this opportunity to present the views of the tech sector to the ITU’s Open Consultation of the CWG-Internet on the “Public Policy considerations for OTTs”.1 CCIA acknowledges the ITU’s expertise in the areas of international, technical standards development and spectrum coordination and its ambition to help improve access to ICTs to underserved communities worldwide. We remain supporters of the ITU’s important work within its current mandate and remit; however, we strongly oppose expanding the ITU’s work program to include Internet and content-related issues and Internet-enabled applications that are well beyond its mandate and core competencies. Furthermore, such an expansion would regrettably divert the ITU’s resources away from its globally-recognized core competencies. The Internet is an unparalleled engine of economic growth enabling commerce, social development and freedom of expression. Recent research notes the vast economic and societal benefits from Rich Interaction Applications (RIAs), a term that refers to applications that facilitate “rich interaction” such as photo/video sharing, money transferring, in-app gaming, location sharing, translation, and chat among individuals, groups and enterprises.2 Global GDP has increased US$5.6 trillion for every ten percent increase in the usage of RIAs across 164 countries over 16 years (2000 to 2015).3 However, these economic and societal benefits are at risk if RIAs are subjected to sweeping regulations.

  • Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutors Miriam Norman- TSRP
    Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutors Miriam Norman- TSRP Re: Potential Impeachment Disclosure (PID) of WSP Toxicology Laboratory Date: August 7, 2020 We have received information from the WSP Toxicology Laboratory that is potential impeachment information (“PII”). This PID (potential impeachment disclosure) relates environmental contamination of portions of the WSP Toxicology Laboratory of methamphetamine. By environmental contamination, we mean that the methamphetamine level found in various areas exceeded the levels specified in WAC 246-205-541. The environmental contamination possibly contaminated some blood samples during the extraction process. In March of 2018, the toxicology laboratory took over laboratory and office space from the crime lab. The toxicology laboratory moved one ethanol instrument into that space. In addition, extractions of evidence were to be conducted in that space. Prior to becoming toxicology laboratory space, the crime lab used one of the lab areas to house a methamphetamine production laboratory for training purposes; this information was not known to the Toxicology laboratory at the time. It is hypothesized that this use resulted in environmental contamination of the area. During the extraction process performed in the contaminated area, analysts observed that some preliminary tests were positive for methamphetamine, while confirmation tests were negative for methamphetamine. There is a possibility that these “false presumptive positives” were due to the environmental contamination. The environmental methamphetamine contamination did not affect any results reported by the toxicology laboratory for two reasons: First, the one ethanol instrument in the room cannot read/detect methamphetamine. The ethanol instruments can only detect volatiles not drugs. Second, as to the drug cases, the toxicology laboratory discovered this environmental contamination due to the drug testing process.
