The security of data and communications is another essential aspect, both in the app, as on the web. Therefore, all messages are encrypted by default.
Messages written by users are automatically encrypted using 128-bit AES. This algorithm is considered safe enough, today, and requires less computation effort than other options, thus saving processor and battery usage in our mobiles.
In addition to AES, public key cryptography is used, which Ensures that only the recipient of the message will be able to decrypt the message.
Communications with the server, both in the app and on the web, are done using the HTTPS protocol, to prevent data interception.
For the photos, videos and audios that are sent through the app, the same encryption technologies are used (AES, public key encryption and HTTPS).
