Signal's Encryption Wizards Are Building a Fortress Around Your Slack and Google Docs

The co-creator of the Signal protocol, alongside researchers from Microsoft and Harvard, has unveiled Encrypted Spaces, an ambitious open-source project designed to integrate end-to-end encryption into mainstream applications like Slack and Google Docs. By implementing verifiable, encrypted, untrusted storage, the initiative allows users to maintain total data privacy even when utilizing third-party servers. This development represents a significant shift toward securing collaborative workflows and professional tools that have traditionally lacked hardened privacy protections.
