37% rural youth sans Internet access: Study
WhatsApp has found itself on the receiving end of Indian government’s scrutiny since itintroduced end-to-end encryption for all texts, voice calls and videos across all device platforms last week. The 256-bit encryption on WhatsApp, which allows only the recipient to view the files, messages and texts sent over the platform, has raisedquestions over the app’s legality under the Indian telecom rules.
The Indian IT regulations do not permit telecom service providers and internet service providers to get a higher encryption standard above 40 bits without gaining special permission and depositing a decryption key with the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI).
