Honest question for those in the know: If I wanted to run my own personal “analysis” to verify the security of Signal, where would I start? Is it even possible? Just curious if there was a way to “know” rather than “trust”.

Learn cryptography to a high level then read the source code?

How do you know that the binary you run actually corresponds to the source code you read?

EDIT: and would you then also review every commit to make sure nothing bad gets introduced? No, at some point you have to place trust in the vendor, the developers, independent audits, etc.

Just to be clear software assessment doesn’t only happen at the source level. It happens at the binary downloaded at the device.
