Security

Backends

Basically all backends when used locally (some support forwarding) should be relatively safe.

- Snore is build in and no information is passed to outside applications. - Windows Toast, SnoreToast is a command line application and the information is passed as arguments. - Freedesktop, local inter process communication (dbus) is used. - Snarl, local inter process communication is used. - Growl, local network communication, MD5 encryption is supported.

Secondary Backends

- Toasty is **UNSAFE**, it is using http to communicate with a server.

- Notify My Android is using https to communicate. Notify My Android Privacy

- Pushover is using https to communicate. Pushover Security
