## Short Glossary
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**End-to-end encryption** is a way to keep your chats truly private.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Only you and the person you’re 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 it’s pretty hard to find two applications
|
||||||
|
that support the same subset of XEPs.
