“In collaboration with Signal, Microsoft is introducing a Private Conversations feature in Skype, powered by Signal Protocol.
Here’s an excerpt from the post made last week Thursday. In a recent post from Signal, the company announced its partnership with Microsoft to provide all skype users with end-to-end encryption. End-to-End encryption ensures only you and the person you’re communicating with can read what is sent, and nobody in between, not even those who own the application. With end-to-end encryption, your calls, messages, photos, videos, voice messages, documents, are secured from falling into the wrong hands. Just In case you’re just getting to hear about E2E encryption, this is basically what it means. With Signal, messages and calls are always end-to-end encrypted and painstakingly engineered to keep all communications safe. Signal is a free messenger from Open Whisper Systems that provides a fast transmission of data while giving you simplicity and privacy. Think encrypted messages that has that whatsapp feeling and two names come to mind, Signal and Telegram. Users enjoy anything that makes them feel more secure without fear for their lives or data. By far it is one of the most widely used voice/video communication tool before it’s other counterparts like Facetime, Whats App, Google duo, Facebook, Snapchat, etc. With over a billion mobile users on skype it’s not unusual for us to hear Microsoft Skype is going to be embracing end-to-end encryption for its application. Also, if you’re a skype insider member you’ve got full preview access. What better way to prepare than having a setup right in your hands. Although this is currently just available to Skype insiders for preview, it would be rolled out to the public very soon.
Microsoft has just introduced private conversations, thus joining the rest of the communication family like WhatsApp, Google, Facebook, and Signal itself that has integrated the open source Signal Protocol (end-to-end encryption) into their platform.
