French secure messaging Olvid becomes open source

Olvid
, the messaging
Instant Secure, has just solved a problem that was criticized: the application is now open source.

Almost a year ago, we discovered Olvid, a secure messaging system (claimed to be “the safest in the world”) which does not require you to create an account and does not require personal data or other number. phone number to operate. After receiving two first-level security certifications from ANSSI, visas that are difficult to obtain, Olvid has taken a new step by opening the source code of its Android and iOS messaging services on the Github platform.

Olvid, ever greater credibility

Some skeptics who asked Olvid to prove his good faith by letting them access the source code of the application should be able to have full confidence in French messaging. The provision of the source code is often a decisive step to permanently establish its credibility as a secure email client. It is now done.

Olvid had already led the way in this direction by launching his own bug bounty program, which consists of putting its iOS and Android infrastructures in the hands of ethical hackers, so that they can find any possible loopholes and that they are paid for their (s) discovery (s).

If the Olvid application has a paid part more dedicated to professionals, it remains, in accordance with its original promise, always free. The exchange of written messages is unlimited, as are attachments of any kind.
