That's certainly one interpretation, but I'd counter that an HTTPS connection to an online shop is also end-to-end as the contents are encrypted such that any intermediate ISP cannot sniff the contents, but only myself and the online shop are able to.
- jeroenhd 4y agoThat's not what cryptographers or even most people dealing with messengers would consider end-to-end encryption.
- ndsipa_pomu 4y agoSo what would be the correct term to use if one of the "ends" is not a human?
- upofadown 4y agoThe humanity of the individuals at the ends is not relevant. The point is that each individual only has to trust the other individual. Not, say a TLS certificate authority.
