Twitter announced the roll out new security encryption features on various sites on the Web and mobile, as well as the software interface api, known as the way Forward Secrecy.
In the case of the Twitter security protocol uses HTTPS but with a new method of encryption, it adds an additional layer of protection so that when you hand to control the movement of users and data exchanged in encrypted form and then managed to steal the number for decryption, the new encryption method of attacking you use this number to decode the records and data that was stolen and thus negate their effectiveness monitored.
To make the picture a little bit with the HTTPS protocol, the user chooses a random number for the browsing session, is encrypted, this figure by the number of servers, and then is sent across the network. But someone managed to get a number for the server, some data about the traffic it can decrypt the session key and then use it to decrypt the user's session and full access to all its data.
But the way forward secrecy you use random session number shared between the server and the user without the need to send the number over the network even if the number is encrypted. This method prevents the occurrence of hack known as man-in-the-middle man-in-the-middle way.
The register Twitter was better in PRISM's spy scandal, the national security agency on users and direct access to the servers, so this additional support today, Twitter is trying to do everything it can to maintain the confidentiality of its users and is a source of comfort and help them to increase user base compared to the other networks were easy to spy on them and even see messages such as Facebook.
