Email? So its just encrypted SMS?
Might come down to the metadata, then, like SFTP vs FTPES or GET vs POST.
I guess so. It's encrypted data sent over email from what i understand. Tbf i'd rather trust software built with protocols specifically built for secure and private messaging, and email is known to not be that.
Sms and email are not remotely the same
I've worked with both in my career. Tell me more...
