How secure is end-to-end encryption?

What is end-to-end encryption and how does it work?

End-to-end encryption (E2EE) is a method of data transmission where only the communicating users can read the messages. It works by encrypting the data on the sender's device and only decrypting it on the recipient's device.

How secure is E2EE compared to other encryption methods?

E2EE is generally considered more secure than other methods because it ensures that only the sender and recipient have access to the decryption keys, preventing intermediaries from accessing the data.

Are there any vulnerabilities in E2EE?

While E2EE is very secure, vulnerabilities can arise from poor implementation, user error, or if the devices themselves are compromised.

Can law enforcement access E2EE communications?

In most cases, law enforcement cannot access E2EE communications without the cooperation of the users, as they do not have the decryption keys.
