End-to-end encryption
End-to-end encryption (E2EE) is a foundational feature for secure digital communication, ensuring that servers can never see your conversation data - even if breached or legally forced. Unfortunately, it’s a term that has been repeatedly distorted - Microsoft Teams claims to be end-to-end encrypted when in practice support is partial at best. As more enterprise tools add E2EE to their feature list, it's important to unpack what that claim actually entails — and what it doesn't.
