How PFS Works
PFS generates unique ephemeral keys for each message session. After use, these temporary keys are deleted. Even if an attacker obtains your long-term key, they cannot decrypt previously captured messages.

Perfect Forward Secrecy ensures that compromising one encryption key does not expose past communications. It is a critical feature that separates truly secure messengers from pretenders.
Zero-knowledge encryption. No phone number. Every conversation protected.
PFS generates unique ephemeral keys for each message session. After use, these temporary keys are deleted. Even if an attacker obtains your long-term key, they cannot decrypt previously captured messages.
Without PFS, an attacker who captures encrypted traffic today could decrypt it all if they later obtain your key. PFS eliminates this "harvest now, decrypt later" threat model that nation-states actively use.
The Double Ratchet algorithm used in Signal Protocol generates new keys for every single message. WeTalkin implements this protocol, meaning each message uses a unique key that is immediately discarded after use.
Every WeTalkin conversation uses Perfect Forward Secrecy by default. There is no option to disable it. Your past messages remain protected even in the worst-case scenario of a future key compromise.

No. Many apps claiming encryption do not implement PFS. WeTalkin uses the Double Ratchet algorithm for per-message key rotation, providing the strongest forward secrecy available.
No. Modern PFS implementations add negligible overhead. Key generation and rotation happen in milliseconds on modern devices.
Without PFS, obtaining one key could unlock an entire message history. With WeTalkin's PFS, each message key is unique and discarded—there is nothing to recover.
Zero-knowledge architecture. No phone number. Your data stays yours. Always.
