If Whatsapp Messages Are Encrypted End To End, How Then Do They Leak? by Destined2lead: 7:21pm On Apr 14, 2022 |
I have been really thinking about this. How do private messages leak on WhatsApp even though it's encrypted. Some people claim the encryption has loop holes. What do you think?. 1 Like 3 Shares

ItsGoodToBeGood:The thing is: end to end encryption means that message sent from your end gets encrypted as you hit the send button, then gets decrypted when it enters the other person's inbox. Hence, whatsapp can't know what you send. It's practically impossible to intercept a message in transit to view it's content - not even whatsapp can do that, so if there's a leak, it's from one of the ends. Modified: Wow, i just logged in after a long day and found a lot of engagement on this comment. However, some people quoted me out of context. To clarify, It's possible to intercept an encrypted data, but impossible to read it except you have the key. Some conspiracy theorists might even argue that whatsapp is not entirely honest about the end-to-end encryption promise that even they can't see the data. Well, i won't be surprised if that's the case. It's facebook's way to violate users' privacy. But i. all honesty, end-to-end encryption ought to be the safest way to transmit data - in a perfect world. 630 Likes 51 Shares |

GREATIGBOMAN: Do you know how encryption works? Do you know that all encryption algorithms are publicly available? That is everyone knows how they work? The strength of encryption is not that the encryption algorithm is hidden. It's that it's public. Even banks use encryption tools that are available to the public. Whatsapp can use whatever algorithm. But your phone determines what key to use for the encryption. Whatsapp even with detailed knowledge of the encryption algorithm cannot access the content because they don't know the key 70 Likes 3 Shares |

LordTosinJ:True but it needs a key to be decrypted and only one person has that key... that's the receiver in the case of messages. No other person/third party can have access to that message except the sender/receiver decides to leak it. This is one of the selling points of Telegram... their encryption is so good that the Russian government can't hack it and Putin banned the owner from Russia (the owner of Telegram is Russian). 31 Likes |
