Twitter has added one more security feature in its tweets kingdom to prevent users data from being intercepted by government agencies for monitoring purpose. Like Google and Facebook , who uses 'Forward Secrecy' to secure users data , Twitter has also followed thier path and want to keep users data private to themselves only. Forward Secrecy is a security tool that donot allow any third party agencies ( like government intelligence, NSA, GHQ ) to intercept users data to interpret it and get hold of the master key a website uses to decrypt the data. Forward Secrecy is not a tech tool , it is just a set codes which boost the security of master key by creating random session keys that canot be copied through networks. Google implemented this tool in 2011 whereas Facebook applied in June this year and now come the Twitter. This is what company wrote in its offical blog,
"Security is an ever-changing world. Our work on deploying forward secrecy is just the latest way in which Twitter is trying to defend and protect the user's voice in that world,"
