WhatsApp Web has new features to improve security and prevent messages from being intercepted

WhatsApp Web strengthens its security with an extension developed in conjunction with cloudflare called Code Verify, that allows to know if the encryption keys were violated and therefore, if the privacy of the communication is at risk.

It should be remembered that All messages sent by WhatsApp are protected with end to end encryption, a security technique that makes all content shared through the service (messages, photos, videos, etc) travel in encrypted form and is only decrypted when it reaches the recipient’s device. This means that even if an attacker were to intercept the content during transmission, they would not be able to access it because it is encrypted.

Before a message leaves the sender’s mobile, it is secured with a padlock cryptographicof which only the recipient has the key. Also, the keys change with each message that is sent.

The system itself is quite secure if that encryption works properly. To corroborate this, a new system was devised in partnership with the security company, Cloudflare.
