Cool, though bittorrent&#39;s migration away from F/OSS implantations makes claims of security impossible to audit. I know I am not the first person to criticize that shift; indeed despite your organization&#39;s recent round of layoffs, I knew people who left long before over such things. And quite rightly.<div><br></div><div>There are already protocols with multiple client implementations which offer end to end encryption with perfect forward secrecy and have source available to audit such as SILC and OTR. Indeed, I even released and encrypted VM last year showcasing how one can tunnel OTR over SILC, for those who are too inexperienced to know how to do such things themselves.</div><div><br></div><div>Good luck! I hope you go back to having open source implementations in the future. As it stands, last I looked, BitTorrent inc does not even use a signed developer certificate from Apple and your uTorrent client cannot be installed on OS X without making a Gatekeeper exception, which is very poor form. I have increasingly fewer reasons to trust BitTorrent personally and would advise others to be more mindful of the codebases they adopt that are &quot;free&quot; yet unavailable for peer scrutiny.<br><br>On Wednesday, May 13, 2015, Adam Munich &lt;adam@aperture.systems&gt; wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p dir="ltr">Hi all, </p>
<p dir="ltr">Bit torrent released a p2p messenger today! I know you&#39;re the type of crowd who likes security, so I figured it&#39;d be worth sharing.</p>
