    TLS is not typically considered end-to-end encryption. It’s transport encryption.

      I don’t get it. E2ee is about encryption in transit not encryption at rest. TLS sounds exactly like e2ee

        E2E is about the sender encrypting, and only the intended receiver decrypting, with nothing in the middle able to read the data.

        TLS is not designed for that, as the server you connect to is not necessarily the intended receiver, yet it can see everything.

        With E2E, you can send data to a server, which is not the intended receiver, and it won’t be able to read it.
