> Designing a protocol so that is does not leak is very hard.

In some of the security classes in school some of my teachers said it was better to use an open and trusted protocol than reinvent the wheel.

They cautioned against using a closed source or proprietary protocol because there was not way to "vet" the code. I trust industry vetted solutions over "hip" new solutions that arent open. I am not sure if Telegram is open or not.
