  What is encryption? Its role in the modern age

“Messages and calls are end-to-end encrypted.” If you are a WhatsApp user, you must have read this statement at the top of chats you open. Now, what does it mean? The statement signifies that all the messages or voice notes shared between users are encrypted, and no one can read or listen in on them.
