End-to-end encryption (E2E) has become a cornerstone of modern digital communications, safeguarding data from unauthorized access during transmission. E2E encryption ensures that only the intended recipient can decrypt the data, keeping it invisible even to service providers. However, this technology presents a paradox: while it protects individual privacy and fosters trust in digital systems, it also challenges law enforcement agencies by creating potential safe havens for illegal activities. This paper explores the dual nature of E2E encryption, its significance for privacy, and the various threats it poses, and presents some recent innovative solutions aimed at addressing these challenges.
