Signal has no known/published real security audit?

Someone made a compilation of academic reviews and blogposts here: https://community.signalusers.org/t/wiki-overview-of-third-party-security-audits/13243 but none of them seem to be real security audit reports, ex. compare with real security audits to Delta Chat: https://delta.chat/en/help#security-audits

    You can always look at their history “complying” to government orders to hand over user data.

    IIRC by US law they are not allowed to disclose requests from US gov itself

    so live tests seem about as good as a security audit.

    I would rather prefer real security audits

      A security audit would be great, but their most recent request was from Santa Clara county, and several previous ones are also from US jurisdictions. You can read about the content of what they were able to provide to the courts.

      They’re obviously private. And if you’re concerned about the app, use the fork Molly.

      I guess I don’t see what more a security audit would reveal that we couldn’t deduce by examining the code or real-life examples.

      I only talk quietly in loud rooms, can’t trust Signal.
