>Earlier this year, home goods maker Kohler launched a smart camera called the Dekoda that attaches to your toilet bowl, takes pictures of it, and analyzes the images to advise you on your gut health. Anticipating privacy fears, Kohler said on its website that the Dekoda’s sensors only see down into the toilet, and claimed that all data is secured with “end-to-end encryption.” The company’s use of the expression “end-to-end encryption” is, however, wrong, as security researcher Simon Fondrie-Teitler pointed out in a blog post on Tuesday.

“End to end encryption” has become a marketing term, and marketers are too stupid to know what it’s supposed to mean.
A friend of mine said his email host had end to end encryption. I was surprised because I hadn’t heard of it. I checked their website and found out they were lying. They had standard server to server and client to server encryption (everyone has those now) and they called that “end to end encryption”.
