Situation:

  • when you are in a protest doing some sensible stuff, and your phone gets taken by the authorities
  • they can access your simplex chats, and they can read what's in it

Solution:

  • Simplex group chat with disappearing messages (5 minutes max)
  • you can coordinate with your other peers on what to do IRL
  • in case if one of the peers gets their phone seized, the adversary can't read the messages that got sent more than 5 minutes ago

Secondary addition: the ability for you to hide a profile on simplex, when not chosen it remains hidden, and you actually need to type the name to reveal the profile (hence deniable !)

however, once your simplex DB is decrypted, can it be proven that the hidden profile does in fact exist ? >> need to be checked
