Yes, in theory it is possible. However even 100% secure proprietary software must be assumed to be insecure, because we're still running on blind faith, which is patently stupid for anyone who requires security.
You're making the baseless (and some might say naive) assumption that it is secure to the best of their knowledge. If they really wanted to build trust then they would prove it and leave no doubt in people's minds.
Your points are well taken, but this is unfortunately a sacrifice that needs to be made in the name of security. While partial centralization would solve a few problems, it would also introduce weak points in its…
There are already FOSS replacements for Skype, such as Tox. The fact is that if every line of code can't be inspected then the software can't be considered secure, and we're forced to put blind faith in a faceless…
No one is taking this project lightly and I don't know why you would suggest otherwise. You keep vaguely alluding to "the nature of the commits" but still have yet to give a single concrete example of what you have…
Yes, everything is encrypted from what I can tell.
C is far from a non-safe language; it's the language of choice for NASA systems that lives depend on after all. I'm not sure what you're trying to point out with those links. How is this related to openssl?
