End to end encryption simply abbreviated as E2EE is a network of systems that communicate directly with each other without third-party interference. One of the things E2EE do is to make use of privately generated keys to encrypt all entries even before they reach the end server or device. Here the end user is in possession of the encryption key. Therefore it helps to put up maximum security for data.

Considering the old way where devices had to communicate through a given server. Device A communicates with Device B and the message goes through server S. Here, messages sent from Device A are decrypted and re-encrypted at Server S before getting to Device B. These transmitted messages can be hacked at Server S thereby making the data integrity vulnerable. E2E encryption eliminates the presence of Server S. Here Device A communicates directly with Device B like in WhatsApp, Facebook messenger etc.
