Abstract


  End-to-end encryption is an application of cryptography mechanisms
  and properties in communication systems between endpoints.  End-to-
  end encrypted systems are exceptional in providing both security and
  privacy properties through confidentiality, integrity and
  authenticity features for users.  Improvements to end-to-end
  encryption strive to maximize the user's security and privacy while
  balancing usability and availability.  Users of end-to-end encrypted
  communications expect trustworthy providers of secure implementations
  to respect and protect them.
