Does Wire encrypt data-at-rest in their apps?
Does Wire employ encryption of data at rest?
I generally consider Signal and Wire to be the best tools today for sending information privately between two parties. Both meet the marks on crypto, open-source, 3rd party audits, PFS via the double-ratchet algorithm, etc.
Personally, I prefer Wire because it doesn't require a phone number and you can install it on Linux, Windows, MacOS, Android, or iPhone. So you can put it on TAILS or Whonix or a burner phone or some sandboxed VM.
But today I was searching through Wire's website, and I was surprised that I didn't see any information on their "security" page about encryption-at-rest.
In most cases, I'd have FDE anyway -- but in the off-chance that the person I'm communicating with doesn't have FDE, I want to make sure that my messages wouldn't be stored in plaintext on their HDD when they retire their device.
Does Wire store all of its data-at-rest encrypted?
