Such as.... email?
- michaelt 7y agoE-mail doesn't have end-to-end encryption either. PGP doesn't count.
- inetknght 7y agoTLS isn't end-to-end encryption?
- juped 7y agoNo. End to end means that plaintext exists only at the two ends (initial sender, final receiver) of a communication.
- capitol_ 7y agoNot in email. End-to-end here means that noone except sender and reciever can read the content. With tls and email you send it to a server which can read it, not to the enduser.
- stewbrew 7y agoWhy doesn't pgp/gpg not count? Because it's too difficult to set up? Do you really trust an encryption with automatically generated, non-exchangeable keys? That said hardly anybody I know still uses e-mail for private communication.
- jhgaylor 7y agoWhy doesn't PGP count?
- zamadatix 7y agoBecause it's PGP not email providing the encryption. Say we said PGP does count as e2ee for email, why doesn't it count for RCS? What about every protocol, I can just PGP sign messages on them so aren't they all e2ee? Ideally when talking about e2ee it's not an optional opt in either but that's a whole different debate.
- hprotagonist 7y agoa total pain in the ass to really secure. https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2018/06/e-mail_vulnerab.html https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2018/06/e-mail_vulner...
