| The Signal Protocol is built on ideas from the [[pgpfan:off_the_record|Off the Record]] (OTR) protocol. Interestingly enough, OTR was intended to improve PGP by adding extra functionality. Signal adds functionality on top of the OTR functionality. So Signal could be considered the result of an attempt to improve something by making it more complex. I am one of those that feel that reliability and security are best achieved with simple systems. PGP is the best answer to that right now. | The Signal Protocol is built on ideas from the [[pgpfan:off_the_record|Off the Record]] (OTR) protocol.
