Threema is the clear winner of the comprehensive messenger comparison by internet security experts PSW GROUP. Other popular messenger services ranked far behind. (it-daily.net, July 26, 2014)
Threema uses true end-to-end encryption from the sender to the recipient based on established and renowned cryptography. An additional encryption layer providing Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) ensures that the meta data (information regarding who communicates with whom) cannot be intercepted during transport. The second fundamental difference between Threema and other mobile messengers is that Threema does not collect, mine or sell any data. You can use Threema anonymously, without providing a phone number. In summary:
True end-to-end encryption
Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) on data transport layer
No data is collected, mined or sold
Fully anonymous use possible
Simple confirmation of trusted contacts with QR code
Independent company, with no external financial interests
