Encryption Definition: Encryption is the most effective way to achieve data security. To read an encrypted file, you must have access to a secret key or password that enables you to decrypt it. Unencrypted data is called plain text ; encrypted data is referred to as cipher text.

WhatsApp, a global online messaging service with 1 billion users owned by Facebook, has added end-to-end encryption to its platform, meaning that even employees cannot read mesages sent through the app.



All text messages, phone calls, videos and images sent on the service which is used by people worldwide, will be encrypted.



“Building secure products actually makes for a safer world, (though) many people in law enforcement may not agree with that,” founder Brian Acton said, defending the decision.



This comes shortly after a fight between the FBI and Apple over an encrypted iPhone belonging to San Bernadino shooter Syed Farook.
