encrypted messaging
Scrambled digital correspondence
Encrypted messaging is digital communication that scrambles message content so only the sender and intended recipient can read it.
The encryption converts readable text into unreadable code during transmission, protecting against interception by hackers, governments, or the platform itself.
End-to-end encryption means even the service provider can't access message content: She switched to encrypted messaging after the data breach.
