Wickr is great tech, and I’m glad to see them get a positive outcome - but boy, I really am curious what AWS wants to do with this.
> With Wickr, customers and partners benefit from advanced security features not available with traditional communications services – across messaging, voice and video calling, file sharing, and collaboration. This gives security conscious enterprises and government agencies the ability to implement important governance and security controls to help them meet their compliance requirements.
Wickr is going to be intertwined with AWS products so Amazon can sell them to "security conscious enterprises and government agencies."
Wickr has a large contract already with the US military so I guess this closes a gap they needed closed.
Isn't it closed source? What is known about their tech?
