Definition of End-to-end Encryption
Abstract
This document provides a definition of end-to-end encryption (E2EE). End-to-end encryption is an application of cryptographic mechanisms to provide security and privacy to communication between endpoints. Such communication can include messages, email, video, audio, and other forms of media. E2EE provides security and privacy through confidentiality, integrity, authenticity and forward secrecy for communication amongst people.
