E2E Encryption
Prevent third parties from accessing your data while its transferred from one end system to another
End-to-end encryption (E2EE) is a system of communication where only the communicating users can read the messages. Rocket.Chat uses this to prevent potential eavesdroppers.
IMPORTANT: E2E encryption functionality is currently in beta and includes notable restrictions that workspace owners should carefully consider before activating this feature for production use as follow:
E2E encrypted messages will not appear in search operations
Bots or other ancillary systems interacting via webhooks or REST API will not be able to read E2EE encrypted messages
File uploads are not encrypted
Rocket.Chat enables users to reset their private E2EE key to avoid permanent data loss during the beta period.
To access this setting, go to Administration > Workspace > Settings > E2E Encryption.
Enabled: When set to true, users can create encrypted rooms and change rooms and direct messages to be encrypted.
Enable encryption for Direct Rooms by default: When set to true, direct rooms will be encrypted by default.
Enable encryption for Private Rooms by default: When enabled, private rooms will be encrypted by default.
