[QUOTE="mkoundo, post: 873685, member: 64426"] [I]is it trusted??[/I] that's the million $$ question when it comes to encryption. See for example this story: [URL="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-51487856"]Spying scandal shatters Swiss reputation for neutrality[/URL] Personally i use it because I know it's been independently audited/researched many times.
