End-to-end or End to End may refer to:

  • Land's End to John o'Groats, the journey from "End to End" across Great Britain
  • In e-commerce, end-to-end marketing describes methods or services directly connecting people who want to sell and buy. This practice eliminates middlemen from the trade.
  • In computer communication, end-to-end refers to end points, called end systems or hosts.
  • In manufacturing, an end-to-end service or solution involves one company, as a service to another, managing all aspects of design and production.
  • In computer security, end-to-end means that sensitive data is encrypted all the way from the device side application back to the enterprise. Rather than relying on transport-level security (such as Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL), end-to-end security puts the power of strong encryption in the user's hands, all through a simple interface. This resolves the so-called “air gap” where sensitive data was previously decrypted at the gateway during translation for wireless protocols into Internet protocols.
  • End-to-end monitoring is the process of attempting to remotely access a web server or other Internet device from across the Internet, just as a real end user would, to verify that the server is accessible and functioning properly at all times. This approach can be used instead of, or as a complement to, local monitoring software run by the web administrator.
  • In Electronic voting, End-to-end auditable refers to a voting system that enables each voter to prove that his or her vote was included in the tally, but not to prove how he or she voted.
