Basically I am looking for a messaging platform like signal or? but with anonymous signup, perfect forward secrecy, capable of video chat, sending photos the usual uses in today’s life. But with a panic button. So that any party member could use said button to wipe all other members devices of any data instantly inside the messaging app. So if one member gets compromised, or lost their device ect, any other member could wipe all chats, call log, and any other data instantly for everyone involved. Disolving the group like it never existed rendering the data unrecoverable. Does something like this exist? Sorry if I’m not explaining it well. I am not trying to delete the whole device. Just the data inside the messaging app. If that does not exist. What about a separate app that could delete the entire messaging platform from the device when triggered. Assume all necessary requirements are met.

    The greatest weakness in any Enterprise are the people, not the technology.

    You just have to look at all of the people who recorded signal chats in both the ftx, and the Trump trials. As soon as people think they’re in danger, they’re going to look for anything they can use as leverage. They’ll use another phone to take a photo of their first phone.

    Even if you communicate with people using ephemeral read once messages, that doesn’t stop them from recording it themselves. There’s no guarantee the data gets deleted on the other end, they could be using a modified client, the desktop app is a horrendous security nightmare, if they view that ephemeral message on the desktop app there’s no guarantee it’s actually deleted.

    Depending on your threat model, you can incorporate technology with ephemeral messaging into your use case. But you have to be very clear, about what your threats are, and what your tolerances are.

    There’s a reason certain highly sensitive organizations use skifs… Only organics are allowed to go in, and only organics are allowed to leave.
