Deploying key transparency at WhatsApp
Something I've often pondered: what about push notifications? Aren't their contents floating around in your phone in plain text?<p>I've thought about it since I used to use <a href="https://www.pushbullet.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pushbullet.com/</a> (a great app, by the way) to show my mobile push notifications on my desktop. Really convenient, but a bit worrisome that an app can read these notifications in the first place!<p>I'm aware that you can change the notifications to not show their contents, which may resolve this issue, but (a) I imagine they're still being _transmitted_ in full, and (b) most users don't do that, of course.<p>Anyone know the answer to this?
