Useless encryption? #11

Open moeenio opened 3 years ago

moeenio commented 3 years ago

When a message comes to the server, it gets encrypted into a variable. And... that's it.

Considering that messages are not stored on server, and that the websockets protocol is encrypted by itself, isn't the encryption stuff in backend useless?

I am unsure upon this as our original backend developer assured me that it would prevent MITM attacks.
