encrypted chat
Scrambled digital dialogue
Encrypted chat is digital messaging where the content is scrambled so only the sender and intended recipient can read it.
End-to-end encryption means even the service provider can't access the messages: We moved to encrypted chat after the company started monitoring Slack.
The term often implies privacy-conscious communication, whether for security, secrecy, or simply avoiding surveillance.
