Like Silent Circle and Wire, it also seems to have retooled its primary marketing strategy to appeal primarily to business users. Wickr's is clunkier and based on NIST primitives. Wickr and Signal have protocols with similar goals (in that Signal invented the goals/service model of all modern secure messaging protocols). An implementation of its crypto protocol is available on Github, for review only.
