Abstract:
Protecting chat applications is crucial since such apps define how people and organizations interact in real time. Third parties must prevent eavesdropping or message tampering when using sensitive conversations, from normal day conversations to business deals. The most precise and universal approach is end-to-end encryption (E2EE), which adds a significant confidentiality layer to the transmission of information. However, protecting data on the cloud is just as crucial as conversations, chat backups, and metadata turning into worthwhile assets for hackers. Safety measures should also consider the growing need for expansiveness and performance requirements of the contemporary chat systems, as well as safety measures that cannot hamper performance on the system. Ensuring end user's privacy through the appropriate choice of cryptographic protocols, secure cloud infrastructure, and security audits is possible. Hence, chat providers can guarantee users' privacy anywhere in the world.
