+Elon Musk's Twitter to Add Open-Source Signal Protocol for Encrypted DMs
+======
+
+Earlier this year, Elon Musk [tweeted][1] that Twitter DMs needed end-to-end encryption like Signal.
+
+Even back in 2016, **Edward Snowden**[asked][2]**Jack Dorsey**, former CEO and Co-Founder of Twitter, to add something similar to the platform.
+
+But, it never came to be. It was probably tested but never implemented.
+
+With a recent announcement (kind of), this seems to be coming to fruition😌
+
+Elon shared a few slides from his company talks, which included '**Encrypted DMs**' for the platform with the Twitter 2.0 roadmap.
+
+### 🔒 Signal Protocol to Twitter DMs

+
+While some tinkerers like [Jane Manchun Wong][4](security researcher) found code references to the [Signal Protocol][5] in Twitter's iOS and Android applications.
+
+Elon Musk confirmed the plan for it in a [tweet][6] about the improvements set to come to the platform under the '**Twitter 2.0**' roadmap.
+
+In other words, Elon confirmed that encrypted DMs are coming soon.

+
+**For those who don't know:** Signal Protocol is an open-source cryptographic protocol that allows the implementation of end-to-end encryption in a perfect forward secrecy ([PFS][8]) manner.
+
+The protocol uses a '_Double Ratchet algorithm_' where two parties exchange encrypted messages based on a constantly changing shared secret key.
+
+This ensures that no third party can access the message's contents, as the shared keys only exist on the devices of the two parties.
+
+The [Signal][9] app makes the best of it. However, you do have several privacy-focused alternatives if you want to explore:
+
+**How can it help with Twitter DMs?** 
+
+Well, it can make Twitter a more secure platform by preventing malicious actors and governments from snooping around the messages of Twitter users. 
+
+The implementation of Encrypted DMs can be beneficial for whistleblowers, journalists, and activists who are constantly at risk of being censored or targeted for their work.
+
+Sure, encrypted DMs may not be the most extreme protection measure in terms of privacy. **But it is better than nothing.**
+
+### 🔏 Encrypted Messaging Should be the Standard
+
+In these turbulent times, we see more malicious actors trying to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information than ever before.
+
+Support for End-to-end encryption should be the de facto standard for all messaging platforms, and I hope that Twitter adds it soon.
