End-To-End encryption
WhatsApp's 600 million users will be receiving a boost in the security of their messages, as end-to-end encryption ensures that only the sender and receiver of the message will be able to access their conversation and all the data sent through it.
Open Whisper Systems, which has the goal of simplifying private communication, announced the partnership on a post in the company's official blog. The company said that it has been working with WhatsApp for the previous half year to incorporate the TextSecure protocol into the app.
The TextSecure protocol is a strong, open source encryption protocol that the company has been developing for the past three years. It works by scrambling the messages using a cryptographic key that only the user is able to access. Since the key permanently stays within the user's device, the encrypted messages are practically uncrackable externally.
The encryption feature will be activated by default for the latest update of the messaging app's Android version. An update for the iOS version of the app incorporating the feature is also expected soon.
Only user-to-user messages for the Android version are encrypted for now, with support for group chats and media messages containing pictures and videos to be rolled out soon.
Blue Check mark
WhatsApp has added a new feature to its cross-platform instant messaging app that lets users know if their messages have been read by recipients, and if read, they can also see the exact time they were read.
