What are you talking about ? Telegram encryption is based on 2048-bit RSA encryption, 256-bit symmetric AES encryption, and Diffie–Hellman secure key exchange

For end2end you can just use the secret chat function.. https://core.telegram.org/api/end-to-end

Feel free to check their source out - https://telegram.org/apps#source-code

So I'm not sure what 'bears repeating'.

The "secret chat" function should be default. Why isn't it? Also, it's not available at all for group chats.
