Η Twitter Inc has announced that it has implemented a security technology that makes it harder for all concerned to spy on its members and has called on all other Internet companies to do the same.
Η online υπηρεσία μηνυμάτων, η οποία ξεκίνησε για πρώτη φορά την κρυπτογράφηση των επικοινωνιών το 2011 χρησιμοποιώντας την παραδοσιακή κρυπτογράφηση HTTPS, δήλωσε χθές ότι έχει προσθέσει ένα επιπλέον advanced level of protection for HTTPS known as: "forward secretcy. "
"A year and a half ago, Twitter first launched HTTPS," the company said in a statement. "Since then, it has become increasingly clear how important this step is to protect the privacy of our users."
His move Twitter is the latest response to US spying after its revelations Edward Snowden.
Facebook Inc., Google Inc., Microsoft Corp. and Yahoo Inc. have complained to the government that they are not allowing them to disclose their data collection efforts. Some have adopted new privacy technologies to better secure user data, but that does not mean anything. In any case, secret agreements are always made "under the table."
As for the new Twitter feature, “forward secretcy”Is supposed to prevent intruders from exploiting a potential vulnerability in HTTPS, with which all encrypted data can be decrypted if attackers obtain a private key.
