SPIES Lab’s Secure Messaging Work Features in News

Posted on May 3, 2025 by Jimmy Dani

SPIES Lab led by Dr. Nitesh Saxena investigates secure messaging apps like Signal and WhatsApp. While end-to-end encryption protects messages, vulnerabilities exist, such as “man-in-the-middle” attacks and user error in group chat. The lab aims to enhance security through improved verification tools, design changes, and encrypted keyboards, while also addressing challenges like cross-device syncing and AI integration.
