Open chgilbert opened 4 years ago

chgilbert commented 4 years ago

Basic Information

Name: Olvid Category: Real-Time Communication **URL: https://www.olvid.io

Description

Olvid is a secure instant messaging application similar in its functionnalities to many other in-stant messaging applications like WhatsApp, Signal, Citadel, etc.

Potential "strengths"

Why I am making the suggestion

Looks like a promising new messenger, they plan on integrating post-quantum crypto. Wondering if it has a real advantage over others.

My connection with the software

None. Just found it while browsing.

[X] I will keep the issue up-to-date if something I have said changes or I remember a connection with the software.

Closed source is a real downer for them. We have good open-source solutions listed and I am not sure there is a benefit to including a closed-source alternative.

Will be nice to see what the audit says regardless.

I think it's time to close this Issue.
