end-to-end encryption

Fully private communication

End-to-end encryption is a security method where data is encrypted on the sender's device and only decrypted on the recipient's device, preventing anyone in between—including service providers—from reading it.

Messaging apps like Signal use end-to-end encryption so that only the people in a conversation can see the messages: Your texts are protected by end-to-end encryption.
