HOW WHATSAPP'S END-TO-END ENCRYPTION WORKS ???

WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption ensures that only you and the

person you're communicating with can read what's sent. Nobody in

between, not even WhatsApp, can read the messages

🟢STEP 1 - When the user first opens the WhatsApp, two different keys

(public & private) are generated. The encryption process takes place on

the phone itself.

🟢STEP 2 - The private key must remain with the user whereas the

public key is transferred to the receiver via the centralised WhatsApp

server.

🟢STEP 3 - The public key encrypts the senders message on the

phone even before it reaches the centralised server.

🟢STEP 4- The server is only used to transmit the encrypted

message. The message can only be unlocked by the private key of the

receiver. No third party, including WhatsApp can intercept and read the

message.

🟢STEP 5 - If a h4cker tries to h4ck and read the messages, they would

fail because of the encryption
