Waayadan danbe, sirnimadu waxa ay noqotay welwel aad u badan,^{( privacy has become so much concern,)} in ugu yaraan qaar ka mid ah macaamiishu ay raadiyaan fariimaha deg dega ah ee ku salaysan qoraalka kuwaas oo sugan. WhatsApp weli waa caan, laakiin wixii aan maqalnay, oo ay u badan tahay cadaadiska dowladda iyo arrimo badan oo X ah awgeed, uma muuqato mid ammaan ah. Xitaa haddii aan ka fogeyno qodobka dawladda, waxaan jeclaan lahaa in aan isticmaalo madal aan hoos imanayn Facebook . Waxay muddo dheer caan ku ahaayeen inay si khaldan u maamulaan sirta.

Badbaado abka wada sheekeysiga degdega ah ee Messenger

Liiska waxaa ka mid ah:

1. Signal
2. Wickr
3. Silig
4. Telegram
5. iyo kuwo kale.

Waxa laga yaabaa in talooyinkayadu aanay aad u raaxaysanayn sababtoo ah qof kastaa lama heli karo rasuulladan. Markaa waa inaad waydiisaa asxaabtaada inay isticmaalaan ama baro kooxdaada inay u guuraan mid ka mid ah goobahan. Markaa raadso dheelitirka u dhexeeya wada sheekaysiga aad rabto inaad sirta u ilaaliso iyo kuwa aan caadi ahayn. Maskaxda ku hay in aan dhamaantood loo dhisin in fariimahaaga lagu hayo weligeed.

1] Signal

App - ka Signal^{(Signal App)} - ka waxaa lagu sameeyay iyadoo la isticmaalayo madal sirta ah oo keliya. Dhammaan fariimaha waa la xafiday iyadoo la isticmaalayo habka signalka^{(Signal Protocol)} . Hab-maamuuska waxaa loo yaqaanaa inuu yahay borotokoolka fariimaha qoraalka ee ugu ammaansan. Farsamo ahaan, waxay isticmaashaa HMAC-SHA 256-bit, AES 256-bit , iyo Curve25519 .

Markaad sameysato profile, xitaa Signal ma arki karo wax aqoon ah magaca aad dooratay ama sawirka aad dejisay. Waxay helaysaa xidhiidhyo; signalku wuxuu si xilliyo ah u soo diraa nambarada taleefoonnada la xaday ee cryptography si loo ogaado xiriirka.

Waxay diyaar u tahay Desktop-ka^{(It is available for Desktop)} , laakiin waa inaad marka hore ku rakibtaa taleefanka^(Phone) oo aad iska diiwaan gelisaa. Ka dib waxaad ku xidhi kartaa desktop-ka taleefanka, wuxuuna u shaqeeyaa si aan kala go 'lahayn. Waxay bixisaa farriimaha is-burburinta, ikhtiyaarka ah in la tirtiro dhammaan fariimaha iyo fariimaha kale ee caadiga ah.

2] Wickr

Farriimaha waxa lagu qaban karaa in la is baabi'iyo meel kasta oo u dhaxaysa hal ilbiriqsi ilaa lix maalmood. Waa laga tirtiraa kombiyuutarka, isticmaalayaashuna waxay dooran karaan inay tirtiraan xogta badan. Nidaamku wuxuu hubinayaa in wax raad ah oo fariimo ah aan laga heli karin qalabka. Ugu dambeyntii, uma baahna inaad soo geliso xiriiradaada. Halkan kala soo deg^{(Download it from here.)}

3] Silig

Rasuul kan ammaan ah ayaa diyaar u ah isticmaalka shakhsi ahaaneed iyo kan ururka labadaba. Markaa haa, waa bilaash haddii aad u isticmaalayso isticmaalka gaarka ah, oo sidoo kale waxaad ku xidhi kartaa akoonnada Pro . Waxaad ku isticmaali kartaa mobilada, desktop-ka iyo webka^{(mobile, desktop and web)} taasoo ka dhigaysa mid la taaban karo. Waa kuwan liiska astaamaha:

• Dir^(Send) fariimaha sir ah, wicitaano, sawiro, iyo galal
• Uma baahnid nambar telefoon si aad isku diiwaan geliso, beddelkeeda, isticmaal iimaylka id.

• Wire -ku waxa uu hubiyaa in aanay jirin wax xayaysiis ah, wax sifa ah, ama xogta isticmaale oo cidna laga iibin
• Waxay hoos timaadaa xukunka Swiss oo loo yaqaan sirnimada^(Privacy) marka hore. Sidoo kale, adeegayaashu waxay ku yaalliin Jarmalka^(Germany) iyo Ireland .

4] Telegram

Waxaa jira farriimo kale oo badan oo degdeg ah oo la heli karo, laakiin looma heli karo desktop-ka. Waxay bixiyaan astaamo la mid ah laakiin waxay xaddideen inay ku jiraan mobilada. Telegram waa mid ka mid ah tusaale ahaan halkaas oo aanu ku siin habka wada sheekaysiga sirta ah ee kombiyuutarka. Sheekada sirta ah waxay kuu ogolaanaysaa inaad is baabi'iso fariinta isla marka la arko ama ku salaysan wakhtiga.

Laakiin markaa dhammaanteen waxaan haysanaa mobil, oo kaliya waxay macno samaynaysaa isticmaalka ^{(to use)} Telegram . Dhammaan wada hadalkaaga sirta ah wuxuu ku sii jirayaa taleefankaaga, oo si otomaatig ah u burburay, fariimaha ayaa gabi ahaanba laga tirtiri doonaa qalabkaaga.

4] Rususha Degdegga ah ee kale ee sugan

Waxaa jira farriimo degdeg ah oo yar kuwaas oo la bixiyo, laakiin hubaal waxay u qalmaan lacagta. Haddii aad diyaar u tahay inaad bixiso iyaga, hoos waa liiska:

• Threema:  Inta lagu jiro desktop-ka, bilaash maaha. Marka ay timaado amniga, waxay isticmaashaa laba lakab oo sir ah. Mid u dhexeeya isticmaalayaasha, iyo labaad ee u dhexeeya isticmaalaha iyo serverka. Waxay hubisaa in wadahadal kasta oo dhex maray aan la shaacin. Waxay diyaar u tahay dhammaan goobaha.^{(It is available for all platforms.)}
• Qoraalka Aamusnaanta: ^{(Silent Text: )} Adeeggu wuxuu sheeganayaa^{(service claims)} inuu bixiyo arji sir ah oo isku fac ah oo loogu talagalay codka sugan iyo fariimaha, iyo amniga heerka ganacsiga. Mid ayaa sidoo kale dooran kara inuu u hirgeliyo shirkadooda. Waxay bixisaa dashboard-ka kuu ogolaanaya inaad habayso oo aad maamusho isticmaalayaasha, kooxaha, iyo qorshayaasha. Wax ka beddelka isticmaalayaasha gaarka ah ama kooxaha waxaa lagu sameeyaa muuqaal muuqaal degdeg ah.
• Surespot: Waxay isticmaashaa 256-bit AES-GCM encryption iyadoo adeegsanaysa furayaasha lagu sameeyay 521-bit ECDH oo aan la xidhiidhin lambarka taleefanka ama aqoonsiga iimaylka. Waxaad xitaa abuuri kartaa id-yo badan si aad u isticmaasho ujeedooyin kala duwan. Halkan kala soo deg^{(Download it from here.)}

Ma isticmaashaa fariin degdeg ah oo sugan? Noogu sheeg faallooyinka.

Free encrypted secure Instant Messenger chat apps for Windows PC

Latеly, privacy has become so much concern, that at least some consumers are looking for text-based encrypted instant messengers which are secure. WhatsApp is still very popular, but from what we have heard, and likely because of pressure from government and many X factors, it doesn’t look to be secure. Even if we keep the government factor off, I would like to use a platform which is not under the control of Facebook. They have been long known to mishandle privacy.

Secure Instant Messenger chat apps

The list includes:

1. Signal
2. Wickr
3. Wire
4. Telegram
5. and others.

Our recommendations might not be very comfortable because not everyone is available on these messengers. So you will have to ask your friends to use it or educate your group to move to one of these platforms. So find a balance between conversations you want to keep a secret and with those which are casual. Keep in mind that not all of them are built to keep your messages forever.

1] Signal

The Signal App is made using a platform which is solely for privacy. All the messages are encrypted using the Signal Protocol. The protocol is known to be the most secure text messaging protocol. Technically, it uses HMAC-SHA 256-bit, AES 256-bit, and Curve25519.

When you create a profile, not even Signal can see have any knowledge of the name you have chosen or the image you have set. It finds contacts; signal periodically sends truncated cryptographically hashed phone numbers for contact discovery.

It is available for Desktop, but you will have to first install on Phone and register. Later you can link the desktop to phone, and it works seamlessly. It offers self-destructing messages, option to delete all the messages and other regular messages.

Signal unlike other platforms like WhatsApp and Facebook messenger doesn’t collect any metadata. They don’t create a profile using which you can be targeted with an advertisement or anything else.

2] Wickr

It’s useful and free for a small group of a maximum of ten people. You create a network, invite people, share files, and your data is available for a maximum of 30 days. The messages can be timed to self destruct from anywhere between one second to up to six days. They are wiped clean from the computer, and users can choose to delete metadata as well. The process makes sure that no trace of messages is available on the device. Lastly, it doesn’t require you to upload your contacts. Download it from here.

3] Wire

This secure messenger is available for both personal and organizational usage. So yes, it’s free if you are using it for personal usage, and you can also connect with Pro accounts. You can use it on mobile, desktop and web which makes it versatile. Here is the list of features:

• Send encrypted messages, calls, photos, and files.
• You don’t need a phone number to register, instead, use an email id.
• To connect with other users, you can search by their name, and send a join request.
• Wire makes sure that there are no ads, no profiling, no user data sold to anyone
• It comes under Swiss jurisdiction which is known for Privacy first though. Also, the servers are in Germany and Ireland.

4] Telegram

There are many other great instant messengers available, but they are not available for desktop. They offer similar features but have restricted themselves to be on mobile. Telegram is one such example where it doesn’t provide the secret chat feature on the computer. The secret chat allows you to self destruct message as soon as they are seen or based on time.

But then we all have a mobile, and it only makes sense to use Telegram. All your secret conversation stays on your phone, and with auto-destruct, messages will be completely wiped off your device.

4] Other Secure Instant Messengers

There are few instant messengers which are paid, but they are definitely worth the money. If you are ready to pay for them, below is the list:

• Threema: While available for desktop, it’s not free. When it comes to security, it uses two layers of encryption. One between users, and second between user and server. It makes sure any conversation caught in between is not revealed. It is available for all platforms.
• Silent Text: The service claims to offer a peer-to-peer encrypted application for secure voice and messaging, and enterprise-grade security. One can also choose to implement it for their company. It provides a dashboard that allows you to configure and manage users, groups, and plans. Modifications for specific users or groups is done through quick views feature.
• Surespot: It uses 256-bit AES-GCM encryption using keys created with 521-bit ECDH and is not associated with a phone number or email id.  You can even create multiple ids to use for different purposes. Download it from here.
