    I can't vouch for it, but this looks worth checking out: https://github.com/signal-golang/textsecure
  • starting a native adaptive Linux client for Signal

    So I think we need a native Linux client. I do not think Axolotl is a viable long term solution because it uses its own implementation of the Signal network protocol (written in Go). Reimplementing the cryptography and network protocol is a ton of work and will continue to be a ton of work as upstream adds more features. Axolotl has only just started reimplementing the new Signal groups protocol which was introduced 5 months ago. Also, the security of a reimplementation is dubious.

  • Golang protocol implementation?
    2 projects | /r/signal | 7 May 2021
    I'm looking for a Golang implementation of Signal protocol for my project (it's a distributed identity service, with secure private email as a reference application), and so far the only library I found is this: https://github.com/dosco/libsignal-protocol-go. It seems to be somewhat dead, unfortunately. Does anyone know if there is another Go protocol implementation I could use?
