End-to-end encryption: explained in under a minute |
|
When messages are sent and received with end-to-end encryption (E2EE), the sender and the recipient’s devices are the only ones that can access the contents of the message.
Without E2EE, there will be moments in a message’s journey from sender to recipient where the message content will be stored in a readable format. Those moments are points of vulnerability when a message could be accessed or otherwise intercepted by a bad actor. This could result in data loss or an information leak that could lead to a data breach. |
