                                                                                      The EFF’s secure messaging scorecard by its own admission is out of date and the page seems to have been removed.

                                                                                      With this in mind, my colleague Josh conducted an evaluation of encrypted messaging apps to help people make the right choice.

                                                                                      Here is the link

                                                                                      I hope this helps.
