Empowering privacy: How to safely communicate with encrypted direct messages - check X guide
28.11.2023 - 15:09 / tech.hindustantimes.com
X (formerly Twitter) is looking to redefine online communication by prioritizing user privacy by introducing Encrypted Direct Messages. After being caught up in so many controversies over a long period of time, X is indicating that it is committed to becoming the most trusted platform on the internet. X has now employed robust cryptographic techniques, ensuring the confidentiality of messages. With plans to open source the implementation and a transparent approach to limitations, X is actively working towards a safer and more private online messaging experience. Know how:
- X generates device-specific key pairs (private and public).
- Public keys are registered automatically upon login, while private keys remain on the device, never shared with X.
- Each conversation has a unique key for message content encryption.
- Strong cryptographic schemes encrypt messages, links, and reactions before leaving the sender's device.
- Encryption persists while stored on X's infrastructure.
- Plans to open source the implementation with a technical whitepaper.
- Both sender and recipient must use the latest X apps (iOS, Android, Web).
- Verified users or affiliates to verified organizations.
- Connection criteria between sender and recipient must be met.
- Encrypted conversations are visually distinct with a lock icon badge on the user's avatar.
- Encryption status can be checked in the Conversation info page.
- Automatic registration for new devices; manual unregistration possible.
- Maximum of ten devices per user for encrypted messages.
- Unregistering a device deletes its Encrypted DMs history.
- Single-recipient messages only; group conversations feature under development.
- Support for text and links, excluding media.
- New devices can't join existing encrypted conversations currently.
- Working on signature checks and safety numbers to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks.
- Future alert mechanisms for authenticity verification and device access verification.
- Reporting encrypted messages not possible due to encryption; users advised to report account issues.
- Blocking option available in encrypted conversations.
- Logout deletes messages on the current device but doesn't erase private keys.
- Key backup feature planned for future implementation.
- Forward secrecy not implemented due to user experience considerations.
- Encrypted message deletion only removes data from the deleting user's account.
In summary, X is indicating that it is committed to user privacy with encrypted direct messages, actively addressing limitations, and seeking user feedback for continuous improvement.

Threads hashtags finally here; feature comes with a cool twist; check how to use it
Ever since the launch of Threads, the Instagram-powered text-based social media platform to rival X (formerly Twitter), users have been demanding two features in particular. The first was the ability to search keywords to look for topics of interest and see the posts that contain those keywords. This was added to the platform a week ago. The second was hashtags, which is an easy way to categorize your post into certain topics on the platform to make them more discoverable. To the joy of the users, this too has been added to Threads now. But, there is a twist. These are not those typical hashtags you probably are familiar with. Check out what you can do with Threads hashtags in detail below:

Fallout Trailer Gives a Glimpse of Irradiated Wasteland Filled With Ghouls, Giant Roaches, More
The Fallout TV series just got a trailer, giving us a glimpse into its irradiated post-apocalyptic world. Unveiled during the Comic-Con Expo (CCXP) event in Brazil, the show brings forth an original story set in a dilapidated Los Angeles and runs canon to the Bethesda game's universe — adding to the franchise, instead of adapting from one of its titles. However, just like the games, the tale largely follows a vault dweller who heads out into the nuclear wasteland in search of answers and in the process, meets countless eccentric characters — both good and bad — and uncovers the larger politics surrounding class divide, morality, and more. Fallout premieres April 12 on Amazon Prime Video.
