what are the ramifications of each?
Two techniques, the
digital signatures and the
use of metadata, have been proposed as methods to achieve traceability in end-to-end communications such as messaging apps (e.g. WhatsApp). Yet, to comply with traceability requirements, platforms may be forced to enable access to the contents of their usersâ communications,
breaking end-to-end encryption and considerably weakening the security and privacy of their product, in order to enable traceability.
In a series of Chatham House Rule discussions held by the Internet Society in partnership with Medianama, an international group of cybersecurity security experts and policy experts examined the issue of message traceability in the Indian context. Experts had significant concerns around the two technical methods often proposed to enable traceability: the use of digital signatures and the use of metadata.
