Discord's New Encryption Protocol

Discord has introduced a significant security enhancement with the launch of its new end-to-end encryption for audio and video communications, referred to as the DAVE protocol. This development follows extensive experimentation and aims to encrypt voice and video in direct messages, group messages, voice channels, and live streams. While many users sought text encryption, this advancement marks a crucial step towards better privacy for voice interactions, filling a gap in the platform's security features. The added layer of encryption not only protects user conversations but also helps reinforce the importance of encryption in mainstream platforms against potential regulatory scrutiny.
