Let's Start From The Very Front Of This Topic,

First Things First....
What is Encryption : 

                    Encryption Has Been A Hot-Button Topic On The Campaign Trail This Year. Republicans Have Talked About It. Democrats Have Debated It. The White House Has Weighed In On The Issue. But To Best Understand The Argument Around Encryption, You Need To Know What It Actually Is.
Practically As Old As Secrets Themselves, Encryption Or Cryptography, As It's Sometimes Called  Is A Way Of Scrambling A Message To Make It Unreadable. The Nazis Famously Jumbled Their Communications With A Device Called The Enigma Machine In World War II, But The Allies Were Eventually Able To Figure Out The Code. Today's Best Cryptography Is Advanced Enough That It's Impossible For Even The World's Greatest Code Breakers To Crack.
Modern Encryption Takes A File And Scrambles Its Content, Sometimes Also Adding Bits Of Meaningless Information. It Does This Using An Encryption Key, Essentially An Algorithm That Instructs A Computer How To Scramble Or Unscramble A File.

                     As An Example, Imagine You Had A Word Document With All Your Secret Personal Information In It. If The File Was Encrypted, And You Opened It Without The Encryption Key, You Would See Hundreds Or Thousands Of Lines Of Random Characters Instead Of Your Data.


Let's See What Whatsapp Say About There End-To-End Encryption..

WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption ensures only you and the person you're communicating with can read what is sent, and nobody in between, not even WhatsApp. Your messages are secured with a lock, and only the recipient and you have the special key needed to unlock and read your message. For added protection, every message you send has a unique lock and key. All of this happens automatically: no need to turn on settings or set up special secret chats to secure your messages.

What Whatsapp Does About Security :

              They Uses The Open-Source Software Called Textsecure, Created By a Privacy-Focused Non-Profit Open Whisper Systems, Which Scrambles  Messages With A Cryptographic Key That Only The User Can Access And Never Leaves User’s Device.


Most End-To-End Encrypted Communication Systems Have Something That Resembles This Type Of Verification, Because Otherwise An Attacker Who Compromised The Server Could Lie About A User's Public Key, And Instead Advertise A Key Which The Attacker Knows The Corresponding Private Key For. This Is Called A "Man In The Middle" Attack, Or MITM, And Is Endemic To Public Key Cryptography, Not Just Whatsapp.


Whatsapp’s End-To-End Encryption Secures Messages With A Digital Lock That Only The User And The Sender Are Supposed To Be Able To Unlock—”Nobody In Between, Not Even Whatsapp,” Reads An Explanation On The Chat Platform’s Website. Once Activated, Encryption Is Always On, And Each Message Is Again Protected By A Unique Lock And Key. The Guardian’s Story Notes That The App Also Has The Ability To Generate A New Set Of Keys For Messages That Have Not Yet Been Delivered—Something That Generally Occurs If One User Is Offline, Or If Someone Is Midway Through Getting A New Phone. The Guardian Says That Means Messages Could Be Intercepted, Re-Encrypted And Then Delivered To A Third Party, Unbeknownst To The Original Sender And Recipient.
