    Please select what kind of key you want:
    (1) RSA and RSA (default)
    (2) DSA and Elgamal
    (3) DSA (sign only)
    (4) RSA (sign only)
    (7) DSA (set your own capabilities)
    (8) RSA (set your own capabilities)
    (9) ECC and ECC
    (10) ECC (sign only)
    (11) ECC (set your own capabilities)
    (13) Existing key

    I’ve did some more digging.

    and Briar still remain better at security level !

    The big downside of SimpleX is that it’s not P2P and IP correlation by watching your traffic is possible.

    SimpleX recommend to use Tor on top of it with for example Orbot. That’s a good idea, but not the best to convince none-tech folks to adopt it. (it’s already so hard to change peoples habit ) Tor should be embedded.

    As soon Tor is embedded I will migrate to it. SimpleX have nice thought features and it’s easy to use.

    Thank you very much @jet@hackertalks.com & @Quexotic@beehaw.org

    The EFF article is really interesting for everyone. ( I was aware of this )

    Indeed no one should assume that his packets are not intercepted along the road. But conceive an software that on top of that, specifically route the traffic trough his server not make it better (on the opposite in my opinion)

    Even if the owner of those server do not process the data ( This is relying on blind trust) those servers might be breached. (in addition to the systemic data recording, like in the EFF article )

    Let put it simple, is SimpleX offer on the actual Internet (can’t wait the next gen, GNUnet or anything similar) a similar level of Trust & privacy than Briar ?
