France has officially issued instructions to ban government employees from using some common communication applications for security reasons.

French Prime Minister Elisabeth Born has just issued a ban on the use of WhatsApp , Telegram and Signal applications for government employees.

As one of the new measures to improve cybersecurity, Prime Minister Elisabeth Born calls to switch to French alternative applications, Olvid and Tchap.

This information was confirmed by Prime Minister Elisabeth Born in an interview with Le Point magazine and previously published by Tech & Co TV channel on November 22.

According to the instructions of the authorities, French government employees are required to delete all online messaging applications "outside the regulations" before December 8.

The main reason that the French government made this decision was due to the appearance of 'security holes found in popular messaging apps'.

With a level 1 security certificate of the French National Information System Security Agency (ANSSI), the Olvid communication application stands out from other applications in the encryption of the message end and the ability to synchronize with electronic devices.

In addition, this application ensures privacy due to not requiring links to personal phone numbers and metadata encryption of users.

TCHAP is the second plan.
