A few days ago, Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced that it bought Wickr, the most secure communication platform on the market for businesses, US federal agencies and individuals.
What you need to know is that Wickr and Private Discuss have the same level of security requirement and have therefore made identical security choices:
? End-to-end encryption from device to device in AES-256 ;
⚡ A new random encryption key generated for each new message, call, file sending...
? No data stored on devices and therefore no data shared with other applications.

Proof that existing competing collaborative communication solutions on the market, regularly subject to attacks of all types, do not convince in terms of data protection and cybersecurity. ?
Yet the use of these platforms will increase and threats will increase at the same time: the Pegasus case Reminds us that they are omnipresent. ❌
For the survival of their activities and to protect themselves, companies will be obliged to review their cybersecurity policy And to turn to robust and more reliable solutions?.

3. Private Discuss : The French Wickr!
With end-to-end encryption, AES-256 and RSA 2048 encryption algorithms and encryption of audio and video calls, data and metadata, in transport as in storage: Private Discuss is positioned like the European Wickr ??.
