Conversation logs are not encrypted ! Why ?

[johnny8]

All the utox conversations are stored in txt files in appdata/roaming/tox without encryption, Why why why ?? !! Other people can easily come to my computer and read them !

[cebe]

well, can't they also come to your comuter and run uTox to see them?

@op, there should be an option in advanced for that ( there is in qtox
at least)

uTox doesn't support file encryption at this point. Windows however does support encrypting user files if you're really that concerned.

Also dup of #532

Thanks for every reply !
but they actually no need to come to my computer, they just need to hack into my friends' , steal the log files silently, trace who is the leader, and go to cuff him. It is a matter of live or death.
At this moment I can only tell every members to shut down the log function.

One more bug: when I am reading in my friend's box, if I wrongly press the DEL button, my friend will be delete at once, and need to add him again. That need to repair, thanks !

Can you guys see this when the case is closed ? !

[GrayHatter]

Even if utox implements save fire encryption. (Pretty much guaranteed)
it'll be optional. So if you contact chooses not to, same problem. Also, if
they're able to hack into his computer they can keylog his password and
same result.
