Comment on Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End Encryption

I’m not enough of an expert in cryptography to know for sure if packet inspection would allow you to tell if a ciphertext could be decrypted by a second “back door” key. My gut says it’s not possible, but I’d be happy to be proven wrong.

Hell, as far as I know, E2EE would be indistinguishable from client to server encryption, where the server can read everything. You can see the channel is encrypted, but you can’t know who has the other key.

The easiest way to break E2EE is to copy your private key to Meta’s servers. It’s very easy to implement, and close to impossible to detect.
