What are the actual security concerns when using OMEMO mentioned in the post? Most criticism I find is on implementations.



For balance, see OMEMO Author Tim Henkes' response [1] to the blog, which was moderated.

This is linked from this blog post [2] where the author explains that they prefer XMPP, because it is not a silo.

That was a good read. The furry blog post read like a smear campaign. Extraordinary unprofessional.

Wish there were more library implementations that clients could leverage.


That post, describing why we shouldn't be using a OMEMO, is almost incoherent. It doesn't outline any problem with the implementation at all. Every criticism is a metacriticism of some sort. Very strange.
