    [1] [2] The term was originally used to indicate that the device should introduce only a relatively small increased latency in communications compared to the original, unsecured, approach. An example of such a device might be a security appliance which applies IPsec protection to communications between existing devices which themselves lack ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-to-end_encryption

    The term "end-to-end encryption" originally only meant that the communication is never decrypted during its transport from the sender to the receiver. [9] For example, around 2003, E2EE has been proposed as an additional layer of encryption for GSM [10] or TETRA, [11] in addition to the existing radio encryption protecting the communication between the mobile device and the network infrastructure.

    Circumventing such a system would require either manipulation of the computer's hardware, capturing the analogue (and thus degraded) signal using a recording device or a microphone, or breaking the security of the system. New business models for use of software (services) over Internet may be boosted by the technology.
