You’re not adding anything useful to the conversation.E2E encryption is not vulnerable to MITM. E2E encryption is vulnerable only to how many keys there are and who has access to them. echoangle 10 months ago If someone except the communicating parties has access to the keys, it’s not E2E encrypted anymore though. At least according to this definition:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-to-end_encryption chii 10 months ago SO if google still has access in an E2E system, but you didnt know, is it still E2E?What if google told you they also have a key?
