Re:Darknet Messenger Briar Releases Beta, Passes Security Audit by e12e on Saturday July 22, 2017 @02:29AM (#14825736)
Indeed. On the plus side, I found the audit very readable, and a great source for some good Android security advice.

I do wonder what plans are in place for migrating user data and identities - of all electronic devices, the one most likely to be lost, stolen, broken has to be the phone - and it's not really great if loss of the device means loss of access to the network and built-up web-of-trust.

I see there's a mechanism to introduce contacts to each other - perhaps that could be implemented (technically) similar to pgp key signing/web-of-trust - that would still require a means to backup ones secret key, in order to regain access though.
