Listen to the latest Perspectives in Mobile podcast as MEF’s Riccardo Amati speaks with CCS Insight’s Chief Analyst Ben Wood about security, trust, and the impact of emerging technologies on encryption standards. A recent mistake where a journalist was accidentally added to a private Signal chat has raised fresh concerns about officials using consumer messaging apps for sensitive discussions.
While Signal offers strong encryption, Wood points out that “the greatest vulnerability in any technology remains human error.” The conversation also explores how mobile messaging is evolving and what the future holds for platforms like WhatsApp, iMessage, and RCS. He also underlines a looming challenge: “Quantum computing could crack encryption, forcing a rethink of digital security.”
