Autocrypt - Wikipedia
Just reading in-depth and trying to understand the security model of Delta.Chat a bit more... There's a few things that _really_ concern me about how Delta.Chat which relies on Autocrypt work:
- There is no Perfect Forward Secrecy
- No verification of keys
- Is therefore susceptible to Man-in-the-Middle attacks
- Metadata is a BIG problem with Delta.Chat:
- The To and From and Date are trackable by your Mail provider (_amongst many other headers_)
Hmmm 🤔 cc @deebs

Sorry if anyone saw my last Yarn here... I deleted it, I was wrong. Looks like everything is encrypted attachments _phew_ but my other concerns above still stand.

@prologic either way, and security considerations aside, I do not like delta.chat. Some observations; first a silly one: I don't like its icon. Now some more: the UI/UX is still lacking, I receive no notifications on new messages, the interaction is not as realtime as it is on any other messengers built on instant delivery protocols, it occasionally drops weird emails on my inbox.
So, yes, I am not going to keep it. 😔

This really bugs me too. I've also noticed it! 🤦♂️
