But my browser connects to web.whatsapp.com ? Are the messages decrypted in the browser ? Is there a key in the cookies ?
The first thing you do to connect is scan a QR code. I just tried scanning one with a generic app (not whatsapp), it's a couple of base64 string 42 bytes and 16 bytes long. That could work as a key (symmetric). I cant't seem to chromium-inspect the content that's feeding my web.whatsapp.
