That's it Twitter takes privacy and user safety very seriously and in an attempt to prevent the government spy, the company has secured the Twitter email with the TLSTransport Layer Security).
The Twitter previously used emails, used a simple communication protocol, now upgraded to an encrypted (TLS or SSL) using STARTTLS.
"These e-mail security protocols are part of our commitment to continuously improving privacy protection, such as securing web traffic using HTTPS," said Josh Aberant, Postmaster on Twitter.
Τα πρωτόκολλα SSL / TLS και STARTTLS είναι εξίσου ασφαλή, αλλά η μόνη διαφορά είναι ότι: το SSL/TLS είναι απλό μέσω κρυπτογραφημένου καναλιού και το STARTTLS αφορά κρυπτογραφημένη επικοινωνία σε ένα απλό channel, το οποίο παρέχει end-to-end encryption of email and prevents attacks Man-in-the-middle types, which are highly effective and quite difficult to detect.
TLS encryption works only when both the sender and the recipient of the emails support it and Twitter admired Gmail and AOL Mail, who already support TSL encryption and encourage others to use it, "Together we can protect the privacy of each user, "he said.
