Telegram has end-to-end encryption. It's impossible

• babuskov 11y ago
  How hard would be for them to MITM their own app?
  • Gladdyu 11y ago
    They shouldn't be able to do so but even if they could they wouldn't do it. It'd show that the claims they make on the security of their product are invalid.
  • StavrosK 11y ago
    On a properly designed app, impossible.
• drdaeman 11y ago
  Nah, they got more marketing than security. E2E is only for one-on-one chats, and it's not even enabled by default. Channels, broadcasts, groups and whatever else they call multi-user conferences are NOT E2E encrypted and servers should have full access to the plaintexts.

    Even if they were encrypted, these are groups with hundreds of users. The odds that one of the users is a spy (or that they just leave their phone on a bus) is basically 100%.

  They're banning channels, which are public broadcasts which anyone can see.

  There's a fundamental misunderstanding here. Telegram banned a public channel. These public channels do not feature end-to-end encryption.

  Encryption only protects confidentiality of message contents, you can still see who's talking to who (traffic analysis), when they're doing it, etc. See traffic analysis.
