Introduction
With the proposed EU Chat Control regulation (officially the Regulation to Prevent and Combat Child Sexual Abuse, CSAR), the European Union is preparing to introduce mandatory client-side scanning for all digital communication services — including those that currently offer end-to-end encryption.
This law could force platforms like WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, and others to automatically scan every message before it's encrypted. For ordinary people who value privacy, this raises a fundamental question: How can you keep your conversations truly private if your messages are scanned before they're encrypted?
That's where Enigma X comes in — a breakthrough solution that encrypts text at the keyboard level, before it ever reaches any messenger, app, or cloud service.
What Is EU Chat Control and Why Does It Matter?
The EU's Chat Control proposal aims to combat child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and online grooming by requiring service providers to automatically detect and report potentially illegal content in private communications.
To achieve this, the regulation introduces a controversial concept — client-side scanning. That means your messages, photos, and even voice notes could be scanned before encryption, directly on your device.
In practice, that undermines the entire idea of end-to-end encryption. Even if a messenger claims your messages are private, client-side scanning gives the app access to your content before encryption occurs — effectively creating a backdoor into private communication.
⚠️ Why This Is Dangerous
- It breaks the right to privacy.
- It introduces new vulnerabilities.
- It destroys trust in encrypted communication.
- It chills free expression and innovation.
How Enigma X Solves the Problem
Traditional messengers encrypt your messages after you type them — inside the app. Enigma X encrypts them as you type, on the keyboard level — before any messenger or system ever sees the plaintext.
That means your messenger receives only encrypted gibberish, completely unreadable to scanners, and only your intended recipient can decrypt and read your message.
Local Key Control — You Own Your Privacy
Unlike cloud-based systems, Enigma X stores all encryption keys locally on your device. Keys are generated offline, exchanged securely, and never shared with third parties. You are the only one who can decrypt your data.
Enigma X vs. Traditional End-to-End Encryption
| Feature | Standard E2E Messengers | Enigma X |
|---|---|---|
| Encryption point | Inside the messenger (after typing) | On the keyboard (before typing leaves your device) |
| Client-side scanning risk | Yes, messages can be scanned pre-encryption | No — content is encrypted before any app sees it |
| Key control | Often managed by the service | Fully local, user-controlled |
| Messenger dependency | Works only within supported apps | Works with any app or platform |
| Privacy guarantee | Depends on provider's compliance | Guaranteed by local encryption only |
How to Use Enigma X to Protect Your Messages
Install Enigma X Keyboard
Download and install the Enigma X keyboard from the App Store. It works as a system-wide keyboard replacement with built-in encryption.
Generate your encryption keys
The app automatically generates your unique encryption key pair locally on your device. Your private key never leaves your device.
Share keys securely using QR code or passphrase
Exchange encryption keys with your contacts through secure methods: in-person QR code scanning or shared passphrases.
Type your messages — they are encrypted instantly
Start typing in any app. Enigma X encrypts your text at the keyboard level before it reaches the app's input field.
Your recipient decrypts automatically upon receipt
Recipients with the same encryption key can decrypt your messages automatically using their Enigma X keyboard.
Addressing Common Questions
Is it legal?
Yes, Enigma X simply encrypts your text locally before sending. You're not bypassing any law — you're protecting your right to privacy.
Is it difficult to use?
Not at all — encryption happens automatically in the background.
Does it support media and voice?
Yes — Enigma X encrypts text, voice, and media content.
🔒 Complete Protection
With Enigma X, your messages are encrypted before they even touch the messenger app. This makes them completely immune to client-side scanning, government surveillance, and data breaches.
Conclusion: Take Back Control of Your Privacy
The EU Chat Control proposal threatens to turn private conversations into open data for algorithmic scanning. While governments may claim it's for safety, it fundamentally undermines digital privacy, security, and trust.
With Enigma X, you can stay one step ahead. By encrypting your messages before they reach any app or network, you ensure your communication remains yours — unreadable, untrackable, and unbreakable.
