secure messaging
Private digital conversation
Secure messaging refers to communication systems designed to protect message content from unauthorized access, typically through encryption.
The messages can only be read by sender and recipient, not by the platform itself or interceptors: The hospital switched to secure messaging for patient information.
The term applies to apps like Signal, encrypted email, and enterprise communication tools where privacy and compliance matter.
