The decision whether a created room should be encrypted in this way must be well thought out and cannot be undone. If the room is large or public, checking all keys of all interlocutors could take a lot of time. But this manual check can be done later on occasion and end-to-end encrypted conversations can be started directly with blind trust for the time being.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If you want end-to-end encryption (E2EE) to interlocutor:inside in an unencrypted room, you can achieve this by clicking on the settings of the desired room. (or in the room via "Room info" > "Room settings" in the upper right corner):
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
To do this, move the Encrypted slider on the Security & Privacy tab:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
This can be confirmed with OK. From now on the messages can only be read by those involved in the conversation. If you have not set up a key protection in the settings before, you should do this now (see [Important settings](/settings/)) to be able to read earlier and in absence received messages.
|
||||
|
||||
Now the encrypted exchange can begin. If you want to verify the correctness of the keys and to document this trustworthiness digitally, you first have to unfold the sidebar by clicking on the person symbol in the upper right corner:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The contact person can now be clicked on in the opening bar of the participants in the conversation:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The bar now shows the conversation person in detail. Here a key verification can be initiated by clicking on "Verify". By clicking on "Start Verification" the other side is notified and after confirmation (see next picture) the "Verification by Emojis" can start.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
This verification should be done with the contact person by comparison (e.g. verbally via telephone, in the same room or other medium). Since this is not always easy, the trust can also be expressed first of all (otherwise you will be asked again and again to carry out the verification) and carried out on occasion (e.g. at the next meeting).

Here, for example, an etherpad, a jitsi video conference, an RSS bot, etc. can be integrated, i.e. services that are located and run on other servers.

Fortunately, 1:1 calls start end-to-end encrypted by default. To really trust this encryption with a good feeling, users:inside can perform the key comparison with interlocutor:inside. To ensure that this also applies to all devices of these conversational partners, Matrix users must in turn verify the keys of all their devices with each other (technical term: cross-signing).

## Secure Backup
|
||||
|

If not set up after initial registration: The **Secure Backup** is a valuable achievement, as it enables the keys of all end-to-end encrypted calls to be centrally secured on the envs.net server with a password. This allows convenient use of multiple devices or matrix clients. To do so, click on "Start using key backup" and choose a strong security phrase (but not the envs.net password). This security phrase will always have to be entered if keys are to be synchronized with the key backup.
