/end too end en-KRIP-shun/

Also known as: E2EE, e2e encryption

Last updated August 8, 2026

Definition

End-to-end encryption ensures only the communicating endpoints can read message content; intermediaries like servers store ciphertext they cannot decrypt.

Real-World Example

A messaging app with E2EE means even the service operator cannot read your chat history on their servers.
