End-to-End Encryption

Summary

A method of data transmission where only the communicating users can read the messages.

Detailed Description

End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) is a secure method of communication that prevents third parties from accessing data while it is transferred from one end system or device to another. In E2EE, data is encrypted on the sender's device and only decrypted on the recipient’s device, ensuring that intermediaries cannot read or alter the message. This method is critical for maintaining privacy and security, particularly in fields like banking, messaging apps, and data storage.
