Hello aggi, firstly, my post was only satire, don't get too worked up about it please.aggi wrote:An excellent fantasy apart from this being completely wrong. Whatsapp can't decrypt those messages and have no ability to read them.
Maybe read my comments above, read the link to gain some actual understanding of the issue.
Secondly, I've reluctantly read the article you linked. It didn't improve my understanding of the Cryptographic protocol that Whatsapp uses, nor does it address or in anyway the widely acknowledged double ratchet algorithm security loophole that I'm basing my "fantasy" on. To quickly summarise, Whatsapp could if they really wanted to take advantage of an inherent issue with the way that their end to end encryption works.
