Do the other common solutions claim to have e2e encryption?

More to the point: which of those has true e2e encryption?

No, I meant true E2E encryption. Unless I'm missing something in your comment.

No. E2E encryption doesn't really apply here.

sitzkrieg | karma 1148 | avg karma 1.47 · | 2024-02-15 15:48:33

so in other words there is no e2e encryption?

You get what E2E encryption is, right?

They are E2E encrypted now in recent versions.

Is it e2e encrypted?

INTPenis | karma 7869 | avg karma 2.74 · | 2023-03-14 03:33:41

How about encryption? It's called e2ee after all.

dsacco | karma 10003 | avg karma 4.84 · | 2017-02-14 05:53:11+00:00

I don't believe so. If you look under the FAQs and the "Security and Control" heading of the Features page, there is no mention of encryption beyond AES-256. Companies offering E2E typically like to highlight that somewhere, even in a non-technical way.

Furthermore, the security is apparently "fully managed", which to me translates to "keys securely stored on our servers, not client-side."

The app does have E2E encryption. It's just not the default. My one wish is they would change this.

iakov | karma 487 | avg karma 2.85 · | 2021-08-26 07:22:51

So it doesn't mention that anything is actually E2E encrypted right now, does it?

e2e encryption solves all problems

Vinnl | karma 21122 | avg karma 4.69 · | 2020-04-13 16:32:34+00:00

Sure, but that's a different problem than the one about UX for E2E encryption, no?

the_watcher | karma 4769 | avg karma 2.17 · | 2019-06-28 16:21:08

I'm not an expert, but my understanding is that encryption that is E2E in 99.9% of cases is, definitionally, _not_ E2E, as it is no longer required to be at either end point.

kbns | karma 301 | avg karma 8.14 · | 2022-11-08 07:13:35

cool. e2e encryption would be great..

ymerkli | karma 1 | avg karma 1.0 · | 2019-12-27 00:29:27+00:00

Sounds great, what about E2E encryption though?

axaxs | karma 7169 | avg karma 3.91 · | 2018-08-02 05:45:14+00:00

sorry, i didn't understand your point. Which part are you saying isn't true? If it's about 'encrypted' vs 'e2e encrypted' I apologize as I was vague, but did preface it with the fact only e2e would be considered.

sasvari | karma 7701 | avg karma 10.51 · | 2016-09-28 08:03:13+00:00

if you use e2e encryption, it doesn't.
