What is End-to-End Encryption?
End-to-end encryption is a security mechanism that ensures that only the sender and intended recipient of a message can read its content. This mechanism is widely used in secure messaging applications to protect the privacy of users' communications. However, end-to-end encryption can also be used to implement authentication, which is the process of verifying a user's or system's identity. This article will discuss how to use end-to-end encryption to implement authentication.
1. Generate a Public-Private Key Pair
The first step in implementing end-to-end encryption for authentication is to generate a public-private key pair for each user or system. Then, the public key is shared with other users or systems, while the private key is kept secret.
