San Francisco (TDI): The messaging service WhatsApp, which is owned by Meta, and the network company Cloudflare are working together to improve the security of end-to-end encrypted messages by utilizing the auditing tool Plexi.
The two companies’ alliance has brought in the auditing tool. To guarantee safe user communication, it will monitor and confirm the integrity of public keys, according to WABetaInfo.
