That's not what these researchers found. They found that each device has a distinct private key, and that the sender of an IM actually sends a separate message to each device, encrypted with the appropriate key. Do you have a source for your claim?
- mikehotel 13y agoWhile Apple boasts of "end-to-end encryption" it's pretty clear that Apple itself holds the key -- because if you boot up a brand new iOS device, you automatically get access to your old messages. That means that (a) Apple is storing those messages in the cloud and (b) it can decrypt them if it needs to.
