That’s incorrect. E2EE means encrypted data leaves the device, stored encrypted, and server(s) have no keys to decrypt it, only your (or other) client software

- gchamonlive 3mo agoIt's encryption both at rest and on transit. At rest there are levels of encryption, at object level or at filesystem level. E2ee for immich would mean the objects are encrypted and transmitting the data is encrypted. If the scenario is the server is stolen, you need encryption at rest. Even at FS level is enough.
- AussieWog93 3mo agoNot sure why you're continuing to argue, GP's right. e2ee means that the encryption keys are stored client-side by the intended recipient. It's not just in transit and in rest.

- yownie 3mo agoyes that does guarantee you the right to espouse stupid opinion, correct!
- duskdozer 3mo agoI've seen a lot of companies use "e2ee" to basically just mean encryption during transit, not even in rest. It's wrong, but I can see where this idea can propagate.
- drdaeman 3mo agoThat’s actually true, but that’s a different issue - companies lying in their marketing materials, making claims that do not match the reality (or well-established definitions, if a company choses to mean something else and call that E2EE).
