Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 9
Abstract
All people were exchanging SMS(short message service) till the time whatsapp was launched for android market, ios , blackberry and windows phone. It was an invention that none one of us had think of, but it happened, and it was made possible by us citizens “BRIAN ACTON” and “JAN KOUM”(former employees of yahoo!) in 2009 as they founded “WHATSAPP INC.” , a company with 55 employees. Whatsapp Messenger is basically a proprietary, cross platform instant messaging subscription service for smartphones that uses internet for communication in addition to text messaging , users can send each other images, video and audio media messages as well as their location using integrated mapping features. There are many online messaging applications available like “LINE”,”VIBER”,”HIKE”,”WeChat”,”KAKAO TALK”,”TELEGRAM”,”SKYPE”,”TANGO”, but no other application has crossed the number of users , whatsapp messenger has crossed(it handles 27 billion messages per day).But this fantastic applications had some security breaches and loopholes which made the founders of the application to work on it and make it secure. They succeeded to a much extent but it’s still not secure.
