WhatsApp tracing harmful messages

WHATSAPP MESSAGES CAN BE TRACED WITH VIOLATING END-TO-ED ENCRYPTION 


While the fake messages in India are spreading widely all over India. The government requested to trace the origin of fake messages WhatsApp replied: "We can't trace the messages as it is end-to-end encryption of data".

The National Security Advisory Board (NSAB)  has stressed the issue and resolved to track the messages to the origin of the messages, and this will not affect the user's privacy of end-to-end encryption.

V. Kamakoti said when he was delivering a lecture at the Indian council of world affairs of wednesday "If WhatsApp says it is not technically possible to show the originator of the message, I can show that it is possible".

"When a message is sent from WhatsApp, the identity of the originator can also be revealed along with the message. So the message and the identity of the creator can be seen only by the recipient. When that recipient forwards the message, his/her identity can be revealed to the next recipient," said Kamakoti, a professor at the Indian Institute of Technology-Madras.

As per the court ruling those who forward a harmful message will responsible for certain cases.

WhatsApp has maintained that allowing traceability will dilute its end-to-end encryption which ensures that only the sender of the message and the recipient can see the message - not even WhatsApp itself.
