- holowoodman 2y agoE2E doesn't typically provide that. No common E2E messenger enforces the necessary key verification. Only some inform about key changes. Only Matrix can be configured to refuse mis-signed messages. And then there is even stuff like OMEMO, which is E2E, but intentionally does not do authentication of messages, quite the opposite: It's protocol is designed such that you can always deny having sent such a message...
