end-to-end confidentiality/integrity

1. A characteristic of preserving the privacy and/or unadulterated nature of communicated data across networks which may include, e.g., application relays in store-and-forward or chained applications. 2. The capability that the application relay should be able to forward data (or parts thereof) as received at the relay without needing to completely decode/decrypt that data. (See also ISO/IEC 10745.)
