 It's possible to deduce who messages whom (timing / correlation attack). All user contacts are uploaded to Signal servers (they say it's stored in SGX - which may be broken). Groups also store some data on Signal servers. And - most important - Signal relies on phone numbers. 
 How do you "may be bedlam broken" SGX, @paulmillr? This is an extremely crucial claim for us, Signal users. Please help us understand.

 Thank you very much. Gonna check it. 🫂 
 Read it thoroughly. Interesting and technically detailed. But ultimately it's a "may be" hypothesis. It's good to be cautious, even paranoid, but I didn't agree with the wholesale implication of the Signal app. Thank you very much for the link. 🫂
