Message-Level Encryption Updates

2023-12

Following an alert from Snyk about a potential medium-severity vulnerability in our SDKs' message-level encryption feature, our team moved quickly to proactively remedy the issue before any customers were negatively impacted by creating a solid solution that includes a new algorithm with sophisticated 256-bit encryption. We've also made our end-to-end encryption modular. Aside from increased security, our customers now have the option to bring their own encryption (BYOE) or opt out of this feature making their SDK lighter. PubNub is dedicated to ensuring the highest standards of security and continuously working to safeguard your data. Learn more
