Facebook is end-to-end encryption offer the Messenger chat app. Due to the added encryption are talks soon nobody read more off, even by Facebook itself does not. But Facebook would not be Facebook if there is not some kind of snake was covered with grass.
The encryption will be gradually rolled out to users of the web app and the smartphone app. Facebook uses the same versleutelprotocol like WhatsApp (also part of Facebook), which is originally used in secure chat app Signal.
Encryption
End-to-end encryption means a message is encrypted on the device of the sender. The only one who can decrypt the message, the recipient of a message. Anyone trying to intercept the message (such as intelligence) do not read it can.
The message is still sent and stored on the servers of Facebook, but even that can not read the message. And that’s a bit strange as Facebook There is not exactly known for it will make you anonymous.
nonstandard
The encryption is not in default in the app. Indeed, it is a special ‘secret’ mode you must enable manually before you start a conversation. For example, there are few users in the practice really use the encrypted chats.
This is different than the encryption of WhatsApp.
experiment
In addition, the encryption does not apply to all chats. Facebook users have in fact often their calls on multiple devices such as a smartphone and a tablet. It is then not have to do in order to add the encryption, since the key is associated with a device.
For the time being it is an experiment which is being tested under a number of users. Later be rolled out encryption for all users.
