What is ID Shield?
ID Shield uses end-to-end identity which makes Wire’s usage more secure and practicable. The device verification takes place automatically using a certificate and replaces the previous manual process by comparing key fingerprints. This way, you communicate with the highest security standard.
ID Shield is based on the usage of Messaging Layer Security (MLS).
