End-to-End Encryption Explained: Privacy for All Platforms

, , , ,

I have to be honest with you—until recently, I didn’t fully distinguish between the different types of encryption. I assumed encryption was something you used whenever you wanted to secure data, and that was that. However, recent headlines about privacy breaches and cyberattacks forced us to take a closer look at how we handle data security for ourselves and our clients. It became clear that end-to-end encryption (E2EE) wasn’t just a buzzword but an essential tool for safeguarding sensitive information.

For us, it all started with a password manager. We needed a trusted tool—something secure but, most importantly, private. That’s when we settled on Proton Pass, part of the Proton suite of encrypted tools. From there, encryption became a bigger part of the conversation. We began exploring how E2EE could provide stronger protection for passwords, emails, file sharing, and even everyday communication.

This article reflects what we’ve learned: what end-to-end encryption is, why it matters, and how tools like WhatsApp, Signal, and the Proton suite can help you take privacy and security to the next level.

Here at iFeeltech, we're passionate about technology. We help businesses of all sizes navigate the digital world, which means supporting various operating systems: Windows, macOS, and Linux. It's a challenge, but we're committed to running our clients' systems smoothly.

Lately, though, something's been shifting. Our long-standing relationship with Microsoft Windows?

It's getting complicated. While Windows has been a reliable partner for years, it's starting to feel like that old friend who's become a bit…difficult.

Why the change of heart? Well, the tech landscape is evolving. More and more, we're seeing people spend the majority of their workdays in a web browser. Think about it: email, documents, spreadsheets, even complex business applications—they're all accessible online. This means the operating system itself is becoming less important. While MacOS is stepping up, Windows is falling behind in a big way regarding the overall user experience.
