How End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) Actually Protects Your Conversations

How End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) Actually Protects Your Conversations
  <h2>Privacy by Mathematical Design</h2>
  <p>Standard transport-layer encryption (HTTPS) only protects your messages between your device and the server. If the server is compromised or subpoenaed, your unencrypted messages can be read. End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) solves this completely.</p>

  <h3>The Mechanics of E2EE</h3>
  <ul>
    <li><strong>Asymmetric Key Pairs:</strong> Each device generates a public key (shared openly) and a private key (which never leaves the device).</li>
    <li><strong>Device-Level Encryption:</strong> Messages are encrypted on the sender's device using the recipient's public key; only the recipient's private key can decrypt it.</li>
    <li><strong>Zero-Knowledge Servers:</strong> The messaging server acts merely as a blind courier delivering encrypted payloads it cannot decrypt.</li>
  </ul>
