Hello~ I’m Kowal!
Today, we will look at the concept, method, and characteristics of secret chat, one of KakaoTalk’s security features.
KakaoTalk’s secret chat function does not simply keep my conversation private, but encrypts it using end-to-end encryption technology like Telegram. 카톡 비밀 채팅
Simply put, end-to-end encryption encrypts the entire process of exchanging conversations, and only you and the other party have the key to decipher the encryption. It’s a technology that makes it something that even KakaoTalk companies can’t solve.
Therefore, even if the KakaoTalk server is hacked, there is no possibility that conversations made through secret chatting will be leaked.
Perhaps because hacking technology is easier to access on a PC than on a phone, the secret chat function can only be used on smartphones and cannot be used on PCs.
