When is Android to iOS end-to-end encryption coming? Since they aren't relying on ads, then they shouldn't need to rely on data-mining private conversations either.
- sososoko 12y agohow is it end to end when data is stored on their servers, i would assume its stored without encryption right?
- mschuster91 12y agoYou can do end-to-end encryption just like with emails. Just the metadata (sender, recipient) needs to be plaintext.
- sososoko 12y agoAhh, i think i get it. but that brings us back to my question; how is the data store on the server, Encrypted or plaintext? if its encrypted would that mean decryption happens per each session. e.g. when using whatsapp web ( could it be why they need the phone to be online? )
- motoboi 12y agoThey seem to use a public key method. How I would do it was by distributing keys to devices at login and let friends use a users public key to encrypt messages to him. Now you pack that encrypted message in a metadata envelope, send to server to be later retrieved by the owner. The keys should never leave the device.
