    Not particularly technically inclined so this question may be stupid, but suppose an intelligence service found some backdoor into Signal, wouldn’t they try to keep that information hidden from Signal? So in theory the chat could be vulnerable already?

      You dont just find backdoors in real encryption. They’re placed there intentionally. Signal already had governments demanding backdoors and they said no.
