The encrypted messages will be stored in the server, but no one will be able to decode them except the users.
What is the legality of creating a messenger application with end-to-end encryption for countries like AUSTRALIA etc? it will be a global application, so there will be customers all around the globe. Every application or messages should be able to read by the government officials when needed? if so, how whatsapp software exists? I just wanna protect the privacy of my customers. But still if it's encrypted and no one can decode, then will it be a criminal offense for the app creator/owner? should I provide a backdoor to the government?

  • Your problem is not just Australia because you want to operate globally. Thus, you need thus comply with every law in every country you operate in.

  • @Trish can you shed some light here to find if Australia or USA Uk allow encryption and what things or permissions should I get? I'm not asking for specific steps, I just don't have any idea where to start getting approvals etc or which keywords/technical terms to be searched in google.

    Try to google with good keywords: Australia encryption law brings this from the Australian Government. With the Keywort UK encryption law you get this which points to the Investigatory Powers Act 2016 which in turn was made inoperable by the ECJ ruling on it leading to the The Data Retention and Acquisition Regulations 2018...

  • Its just not possible to ban encryption nowadays. People just won't accept any modern communication software that does not use encryption.
