Signal Securely Golds Sign Up Without Phone Number

One of the most important messaging apps of user privacy, Signal redesigns the process of account registration from the basic stone. With new features, it will be possible to create an account without providing phone number; this process will be performed securely through zero-information evidence (zero-knowledge proofs).

Zero-information evidence is a cryptographic method that maximizes privacy:

• Personal verification privacy: You can prove that information is correct, without explaining a information to the server
• Phone number removal: Users can sign independently from the line number or SIM card of the cell phone
• Prevent fraud: The system will implement different mechanisms to prevent misuse of accounts
• Enhanced anonymous access: Registration information will not be seen by the server, it will only be verified

This move of Signal is a step by highlighting the importance of privacy design in messaging applications. By eliminating dependence on the phone number, reducing access barriers to the application, it also allows users to share much less personal data. Zero-knowledge proof technology guarantees that the Signal servers are connected from which device during the account registration, or no hidden information such as user ID.

This development is a breakthrough change for users who want maximum privacy, mainly using Tor and VPN. It also provides an important freedom for people who have limited access to the phone in certain regions or need anonymous communication.
