Element is launching the world’s first communications platform based on the upcoming Matrix 2.0 release. The result is blazing performance which outperforms the mainstream alternatives - across a decentralised system that enables self-hosting and end-to-end encryption - as well as open standard interoperability to revolutionise real time communication between large organisations.
Built on Matrix 2.0, Element X now rivals the performance of centralised consumer messaging apps, empowering organisations to address the shadow IT issues caused by consumer-grade messaging apps in the workplace.
The new Element communications solution consists:
- Element X, our next-gen app with an array of new features
- Element Call fully integrated into Element X, for native Matrix-encrypted voice and video
- Element Server Suite, our backend hosting solution for powerful admin control and Matrix 2.0 performance
Wire supports it. Also more secure than Matrix
How is it more secure than matrix? I can’t even self-host it.
Yes, you can. The server code is on github. But I don’t know why you would, since all messages are encrypted client-side.
Its more secure because you know that all your users can’t send a message unencrypted, either accidentally or intentionally.
there’s a graphical indicator if they send something unencrypted, and there’s no way to turn an encrypted chat into an unencrypted chat on matrix. Plus they start encrypted by default, I honestly don’t even know how to make an unencrypted chat, I don’t think there’s any good way to other than using a client that doesn’t have encryption.
this is not a real problem.
It is a problem. Many orgs have strict rules not to use messaging solutions that support unencrypted messages
This doesn’t tick the box, so it blocks adoption
