.@BriarApp definitely deserves more attention from the research community. They are trying to do something quite challenging with secure ad hoc messaging.

Found a cool way to repurpose some old tech, side loaded an old version of @BriarApp to run on my ancient q10 to make it a secure mobile messenger and it works pretty well paired with a battery powered travel router it's a neat little package #comms #secure #mobile #offgrid
