There has been many tweets and many posts regarding End to End Encryption. Recently WhatsApp declared that they are using End to End Encryption and also many giants started using this mechanism.
Many are speaking or posting about End to End Encryption but they are not aware of the mechanism and many even dont know what is that means and some considered that it is just a message displayed in their chat window.
End to End Encryption is one of the mechanism which is implemented to prevent any third person to read or know what the entitites are transmitting. Let's have a look at the mechanism behind this.
Consider x an y are going to transfer the message first both x and y will have their own public key and private key. Private key will be with them only and public key will be shared with the other entity.
x share public key with y and vice versa. If x is going to send a message "hi" to y, x will encrypt it with y's public key and send it. Only the entity with y's private key can read the message which ultimately resides with y only.
This way any third party is avoided from reading the text. If in case the private is compromised then the whole system fails.
In End to End Encryption this mechanism happens and thus it provides privacy to everyone. There has been a bill named #Anti-Encryption bill passed which will prevent or restrict companies from implementing encryption as a service to their customers.
P.S: The post is to create awareness and not to create any negative impact.
