The term "end-to-end encryption" originally only meant that the communication is never decrypted during its transport from the sender to the receiver. [9] For example, around 2003, E2EE has been proposed as an additional layer of encryption for GSM [10] or TETRA, [11] in addition to the existing radio encryption protecting the communication between the mobile device and the network infrastructure.
A mechanical ratchet. The Double Ratchet Algorithm features properties that have been commonly available in end-to-end encryption systems for a long time: encryption of contents on the entire way of transport as well as authentication of the remote peer and protection against manipulation of messages.
Logo of OMEMO. OMEMO is an extension to the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol for multi-client end-to-end encryption developed by Andreas Straub.According to Straub, OMEMO uses the Double Ratchet Algorithm "to provide multi-end to multi-end encryption, allowing messages to be synchronized securely across multiple clients, even if some of them are offline".

This allows users to encrypt, decrypt, digitally sign, and verify signatures for text, emails, and other files. The application allows the user to store the credentials of other users with whom they interact, and to encrypt files such that only a specified user can decrypt them. In the same manner, if a file is received from another user and ...
[37] [38] In March 2019, Google discontinued Allo in favor of their Google Messages app on Android. [39] [40] In November 2020, Google announced that they would be using the Signal Protocol to provide end-to-end encryption by default to all RCS-based conversations between users of their Google Messages app, starting with one-to-one ...
Introducing end-to-end encryption on Facebook would be like “consciously turning a blind eye to child abuse”, the head of the National Crime Agency (NCA) has said.
For encryption, the app used the Signal Protocol. [41] Incognito mode did not include any Smart Reply or Google Assistant features. When the user received a sticker from a sticker pack that they did not already have installed on their device, the app retrieved the sticker from Google's servers using security, but not end-to-end encryption.

Tox is a peer-to-peer instant-messaging and video-calling protocol that offers end-to-end encryption. The stated goal of the project is to provide secure yet easily accessible communication for everyone. [2] A reference implementation of the protocol is published as free and open-source software under the terms of the GNU GPL-3.0-or-later.
