&gt; They also implemented AES with S-boxes in pure JavaScript (no bitslicing), which adds a cache-timing leak. Yay.<p>From the DEKRA security review certificate [1]: &quot;Proven implementations of cryptographic primitives.&quot; is marked as a pass... (I also couldn&#x27;t find a way to verify the authenticity of this certificate).<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;appdefensealliance.dev&#x2F;reports&#x2F;com.mess.engerx_1717934792836666.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;appdefensealliance.dev&#x2F;reports&#x2F;com.mess.engerx_17179...</a>

Fair review, but I would leave in less than a second after seeing xpal&#x27;s website. Too glossy is never a good sign.

Smartphones were made for idiots, it is just a player of proprietary services, look at how the slogan is copywried &quot;stay anonymous&quot;®©™. Encrypted messenger is Jabber and few p2p solutions, not anything hidden from user. The official website is too Barbie to even read anything on it.
