This weekend I’ve been testing a Norwegian made app for secure, anonymous, P2P-based communication. By M2 Secure As.
This is the first solution on the market of communication applications that offer true discretion.
> No messaging servers with activity logging. Peer-to-Peer
> Full end to end encryption (messages and voice conversations)
> Optionally blind-up with proxies
> All messages and log can be deleted upon closing of the app.
> Automatic removal of all messages and log on time-interval. (1-48 hours)
The GUI needs a little work, but the app works without any major flaw. I’m really impressed about this app and the work made by Leif Auke and the crew at M2 Secure!
You can test the free version of the app first. The application has no ads and therefor the full version costs about 65 NOK.

Differences to Signal…?

Difference to signal ?David C. Frier
I’m guessing you are asking whats the differens about using M2 Messenger in regards to regular SMS.
Well, I’m not an expert in this, but if you wish to send a non-traceable encrypted message to someone, the M2 Messenger uses internet P2P service from your phone/pc to the reciever without anything being stored anywhere.
Leif Auke!! he’s the expert! 🙂

Signal is a different encrypted messaging app. Reportedly the one Ed Snowden uses 🙂

the P2P situation you describe sounds like it needs a lot of preliminary work: you have to make sure your correspondent has the app and you have to exchange some kind of ID.
That all happens outside the app, of course.

The peer 2 peer in m2 is a protokoll using UDP. It dont rely on any other Internett services than pur UDP. Its is packets sent directly between the parties.

UDP is a sessionless protocol that result in packet loss depending on the speed an quality of the connection, so using UDP it requirers a protocol for send/resend. This is handled by m2.
The advantage of UDP is the NAT traversal. Allowing communication from subnet to subnet.
Basically all mobilnetworks are NAT, Meaning the phone dont expose any public ip address. To achive true p2p you need a mehanism that is build into m2 :)

So it’s SMS?
LikerLiker
No. It is not encrypted SMS.
