Summary

PubNub has introduced a new level of security for real-time data transmission by enabling Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) across all its client libraries, allowing end-to-end encryption of messages. This enhancement addresses the limitations of SSL encryption, which requires data to be decrypted and re-encrypted as it passes through servers, by ensuring data remains encrypted from publisher to subscriber. The AES encryption can be implemented across various programming environments and languages, and can be executed on both client and server sides, ensuring that unencrypted data never leaves a trusted authority. PubNub has made this encryption process user-friendly by integrating it into their open-source client libraries, which allow developers to easily add encryption to their applications by setting a simple flag when publishing messages.
