How to Encrypt Chat Messages Between Client and Specialist in Bubble App

Need help
1

Hi everyone,

I’m building an app on Bubble that includes a chat feature between clients and specialists. I want to ensure that the messages exchanged are encrypted to protect user privacy and comply with data protection regulations.

I’ve been thinking about using AES-256 encryption for securing the messages. Could anyone advise on the best way to implement AES-256 encryption in Bubble? Are there any plugins or built-in features that facilitate this level of encryption, or would I need to integrate external services or APIs?

Any guidance or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Messages are light in size so a running some clientside processing will do. Bubble doesn’t have any kind of encyrption tool in the editor so you’re going to have to rely on a plugin. Though handling the keys will be a hassle if you go this route. Doable but a hassle.

Otherwise you’re gonna have to fork out the cost of an external encryption service.
