[TYPO] Read-Once shows: "No forward secrecy for at least one recipient, who will be warned of the fact" | #21

Open erreip opened 8 years ago

erreip commented 8 years ago

Read-Once is selected and encrypted for a single recepient but it shows: "No forward secrecy for at least one recipient, who will be warned of the fact".

Perhaps it was meant to be: Forward secrecy achieved for at least one recipient, who will be warned of the fact.

Thanks for the tip. Actually, what the message means is that the message is forward secret for all recipients by default, but there is a problem with one of them (maybe more). This message is triggered when the conversation with one of the recipients (or more) has been reset by the sender, but this does not affect the conversations with the other recipients, which have perfect forward secrecy regardless of the situation with those other recipients. The expectation is that the user knows about this prior to the encryption and only needs to be reminded of the fact.

Perhaps this is not sufficiently clear. Is there a better way to explain this?

Many thanks!

That being the case, will that prevent/inhibit decrypting for the one(or more) recipients whose Read-Once token were reset?

If the above is true, then here's my Read-Once Prompt_Suggestion 2016-0728_001: Forward secrecy achieved for at least one recipient, who will be warned of the fact. However, one (or more) of the additional recipients' Read-Once Token was reset thus, they may not be able to decrypt unless they reset conversation on their end.

I'm not sure that my suggestion is any clearer, LOL. But, I do see the need for SOME alert to the user as you did originally.
