Did they already adopt a proven published alogithm for encryption, or still using a homegrown KGB-Krypt algorithm? Sorry for a trivial question, I am not a user.

Their algorithm itself is proven and published, has been audited multiple times already.

It is not as good Double Ratchet in terms of features but security wise, it's solid.


It's still homegrown.
