Protegy glossary

End-to-end encryption

Definition

Encryption where data is protected before leaving the user's device and can only be decrypted by intended endpoints, not by intermediate service providers.

Why it matters

Understanding this term helps you compare security options and choose the right recovery plan without relying on marketing claims.

Practical tip

Keep recovery information separate from the device or vault it is meant to recover, and test your setup before you need it.
