[whispersystems] Passive metadata-voip analysis traffic

[h***@tutamail.com]

"..........In the past, Signal calls always relayed the client media streams through the Signal service.With these updates, Signal can attempt to establish a "peer-to-peer" connection for the call. This has the advantageof reducing call latency, but also has the potential disadvantage of exposing your IP address to the remote calling peer.........."



Do you think has also the disadvantage of exposing end user location to passive network analysis, not also to the remote peer?




Do I overstimate the benefit of "relay server scrambling"?





Or that is not a real problem, more like a.... "mass surveillance  philosophic problem"?




Thanks, Harold
