TLS is Transport Layer Security.

When we're talking about End-to-End Encryption, we usually mean:

    * Application Layer Security (between users)
    * Transport Layer Security (between each user and the server)
And here, Security should mean public key authenticated encryption (e.g. crypto_box() from NaCl)
