After the Tchap project based on Matrix, the French Prime Minister asks anyone in the gouvernement to use Olvid, the only app validated by the ANSSI, with metadata encryption and no centralised architecture nor contacts discovery. But only the front-ends are open source, not the back-end.

Olvid is the only messaging application today certified by the ANSSI

Is there a list of those they've tested, and why they didn't meet criteria? Has Signal been tested?

Without that info, just seems coincidental that the French government has bestowed this cert on only a French app.
