Définitions des termes

1. ↑ Cryptage de bout en bout ( end-to-end encryption ) End-to-end encryption, often abbreviated as E2EE, is a vital security measure in the digital world. It is a method of secure communication that prevents third-parties from accessing data while it's transferred from one end system to another. In essence, E2EE works by converting the sender's message into code, which can only be decoded by the intended recipient. This guarantees that the information remains confidential as it travels across networks. Despite its benefits, E2EE faces challenges such as vulnerability to man-in-the-middle attacks, endpoint authentication requirements, and issues with regulatory compliance. Backdoors, which can bypass encryption, also pose significant security concerns. This encryption method is widely implemented in various communication platforms and file sharing services for enhanced data security. Regardless of the challenges, E2EE remains a crucial part of maintaining privacy in our increasingly digital world.
