on signal only sms is not encrypted everything else is.

the keys are transferred when the uses connect once connected it is encrypted/decrypted on each users system. Signal only provides the connectivity

Hi Experts,
I have these questions about the
Signal Encrypted Communications by
Open Whisper (see
signal.org
)
.
Q1. Are Signal messages which are sent between 2 Signal users, encrypted (
end-to-end
) with
Open Whisper
if the users are
both
:
a) Scenario 1: Using the Signal app
b) Scenario 2: Using Signal via their browser.
Q2. If both scenarios are encrypted, how can end-to-end
Open Whisper
encryption be achieved, i.e. at what points are the encryption & decryption taking place?
Thanks.

Signal end-to-end encryption via app/browser?

Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. In an encryption scheme, the intended communication information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients, but not to unauthorized interceptors.

Encryption

Instant messaging (IM) is a type of online chat that offers real-time text transmission over the Internet. A LAN messenger operates in a similar way over a local area network. More advanced instant messaging can add file transfer, clickable hyperlinks, Voice over IP, or video chat. Non-IM types of chat include multicast transmission, usually referred to as "chat rooms". Depending on the IM protocol, the technical architecture can be peer-to-peer (direct point-to-point transmission) or client-server (a central server retransmits messages from the sender to the communication device).
