KakaoTalk secret chatting is a chatting with enhanced information security than regular chatting by applying end-to-end encryption technology. Since it is impossible to decipher the chat contents only with the contents stored on the server, it is suitable for chatting that requires a strong level of information security.

* What is End to End Encryption technology?
End-to-end encryption refers to an encryption method in which the message is transmitted in an encrypted state throughout the entire process from the sender to the receiver, making it impossible to decrypt on the server. When transmitted in the usual way, the message is stored in plain text on the intermediate server, but if the server is hacked at this time, the contents of the message may be leaked. In end-to-end encryption, the message sent by the sender cannot be checked even by the server, which is an intermediate destination, and the message can be viewed only when the receiver decrypts it.

A public key is a term used in PKI technology and is one of the three keys used by secret chats. The key consists of a public key, a private key, and a secret key. The secret key is used to encrypt messages in the secret chat room. The secret key needs to be exchanged when starting a secret chat. After encryption using the secret key as the public key, the receiver decrypts using the private key. In simple terms, it refers to the technology required to encrypt messages.
