  Yes, it does. The UX is not great but the crypto has been solid since 2016: https://matrix.org/blog/2016/11/21/matrixs-olm-end-to-end-encryption-security-assessment-released-and-implemented-cross-platform-on-riot-at-last/ https://matrix.org/blog/2016/11/21/matrixs-olm-end-to-end-en...

    for Riot, it still is not enabled by default due to bugs though? > As of May 2017 Riot’s end-to-end encryption is technically in beta, but this is due to some residual stability bugs and missing usability features. Once these are resolved we plan to get the full implementation security assessed and out of beta. End-to-end encryption will then be turned on by default for private conversations. https://about.riot.im/security/ https://about.riot.im/security/

      Yup, we haven't turned it on by default yet - but this no longer really due to bugs, but missing UX features. The stuff that remains is: * Cross-signing devices when you sign up to remove verification pain * Ability to access history from before the point you join the room (if desired) * Better UX for verification (comparing mnemonic phrases rather than public key fingerprints) * Ability to optionally back up E2E keys, encrypted, on the server so you don't lose your history if you lose all your devices * Ability to search E2E rooms (using a clientside search engine) * ...and fixing any last key management bugs, although right now we believe we've fixed almost all of them.
