摘要：
Signal is an instant messenger recognized by the international community as one of the most secure among other competitors. Signal apps for iOS, Android, and desktop have a protection mechanism for locally stored data - the encryption of the internal database. This paper presents the methods of recovering the encryption key protecting the Android app database, its storage locations, and threats to the users resulting from it. Recommendations for the software authors that allow improving the overall security of the solution and removing already-found vulnerabilities were also discussed here.
