Point-to-point encryption (P2PE) is a specific method of data encryption that protects sensitive information, such as payment card data, as it travels between a device, such as a point-of-sale (POS) terminal, and a secure decryption endpoint. The goal of P2PE is to ensure that the data remains encrypted throughout its entire journey, reducing the risk of exposure to data breaches or unauthorized access.
