I’m thinking of the things listed on the Privacy Guides real-time communication section

    Signal stores your encryption key on their servers…

    That would surprise me. What’s your source for this?

        master_key is never stored or sent to the SGX, only c2, the entropy bits. The user’s password is still required to generate the key.

            “Very trivial” if they set a proper password? Yet the source you provide says it’s robustly secure
