Additionally, in December 2019, the UK Conservative Party encouraged its MPs to switch to Signal both for security and operational reasons. This interest for the Signal messaging service happened after the European institutions were affected by several communication privacy incidents. Messages and calls exchanged via the application are fully encrypted and the maintenance of the open source software is supported by a non-profit foundation, Signal Technology Foundation. Signal is a messaging application, developed in 2013 by privacy activists. The solution will be used for external communication between Commission staff and people outside the organization. In early February, an internal message was sent to European Commission agents notifying them that "Signal has been selected as the recommended application for public instant messaging.". The Signal messaging service is an open source and fully encrypted alternative to proprietary solutions. In February 2020, European Commission agents received a communication encouraging them to use the messaging service Signal.
