In this post, I want to focus specifically on end-to-end encryption
|
||||
and the practical aspects of using it.
|
||||
|
||||
## Short Glossary
|
||||
|
||||
**End-to-end encryption** is a way to keep your chats truly private.
|
||||
|
||||
Only you and the person you’re messaging can read the messages.
|
||||
Not even the server owner or your carrier has the keys
|
||||
needed to decrypt or modify them.
|
||||
|
||||
**XMPP** is a protocol made for instant messaging.
|
||||
|
||||
The cool thing? The X stands for Extensible,
|
||||
which basically means you can add almost any feature through XEPs:
|
||||
audio and video calls,
|
||||
encryption,
|
||||
file transfer,
|
||||
sync across devices,
|
||||
text markup,
|
||||
and even stories!
|
||||
|
||||
The ugly thing? The X stands for Extensible,
|
||||
which means it’s pretty hard to find two applications
|
||||
that support the same subset of XEPs.
|
||||
|
||||
## Trade-offs Between Safety and Convenience
|
||||
|
||||
Unfortunately, things that are truly secure are rarely convenient.
