How does this work with web.whatsapp.com ?
From https://blog.whatsapp.com/10000618/end-to-end-encryption/:
"The idea is simple: when you send a message, the only person who can read it is the person or group chat that you send that message to. No one can see inside that message. [...] Not even us."
But my browser connects to web.whatsapp.com ? Are the messages decrypted in the browser ? Is there a key in the cookies ?
The first thing you do to connect is scan a QR code. I just tried scanning one with a generic app (not whatsapp), it's a couple of base64 string 42 bytes and 16 bytes long. That could work as a key (symmetric). I cant't seem to chromium-inspect the content that's feeding my web.whatsapp.
Anyone with data on this ?
