i guess it could be practical; when someone steals your phone they probably look for password managers instead of the notes app
-
Kimmax111067yIt makes way more sense to target managers if you're after stealing passwords
Also they tend to have a vulnerability here and there -
@Kimmax has anyone ever found a vulnerability in the actual encryption algorithms used by pms though?
-
Kimmax111067y@DuckyMcDuckFace i don't recall an actual broken algorithm, but they sure do fuckup the implementation sometimes
-
@Sauruz Yes since the algorithm is open, anyone can implement it. That's the nice part of it. The site also has a command line program and a desktop program that do the same job. There are also browser plug ins implementing the same thing. If what uses the algorithm is completely open source, perhaps it is rational to consider it suitable for use. Or if you trust no one, you can indeed implement it yourself.
