In plain English
Messaging systems designed to provide confidentiality, integrity, and safer identity/account controls.
Why this matters
Why it matters: Messaging is a high-value target for surveillance and scams; secure design reduces exposure from intercepts and account compromise.
Example
Example: Use an E2EE messenger, verify keys for high-risk chats, enable device lock + MFA, and minimize backups that might store plaintext.
