What the BLEEP? BitTorrent's secure messaging app arrives
Found on The Register on Wednesday, 13 May 2015
Bleep can now be had for iThings, Android, Windows and Mac OS. The app promises server-less, peer-to-peer, text or voice communications. The outfit says “we keep messages and the encryption keys for images stored on your local device, not the cloud”. The apps are said to leave no metadata trail, either.
That's what they say. Researchers however will have a hard time to agree with this, because there is no source code to check; and anything that promises security, privacy and encryption needs to give any third party the option to verify those claims. Until then, it's nothing but another closed source messenger with dubios marketing.
