In this post, I want to focus specifically on end-to-end encryption
and the practical aspects of using it.
## Short Glossary
**End-to-end encryption** is a way to keep your chats truly private.
Only you and the person youre messaging can read the messages.
Not even the server owner or your carrier has the keys
needed to decrypt or modify them.
**XMPP** is a protocol made for instant messaging.
The cool thing? The X stands for Extensible,
which basically means you can add almost any feature through XEPs:
audio and video calls,
encryption,
file transfer,
sync across devices,
text markup,
and even stories!
The ugly thing? The X stands for Extensible,
which means its pretty hard to find two applications
that support the same subset of XEPs.
