You've lost me on the point I thought you were making.

The topic was "end to end encryption" - and I thought you made the comment that a "master key" is also available.

This implies that you are saying that a master key can decrypt data that is being intended for an end user, that is encrypted with their public key.

Or are you saying something else?
