Zoom to Provide Detailed Info on Upcoming End-to-End Encryption Feature
2020-05-21 14:12

Zoom announced this week that on May 22 it will publish a detailed draft of the cryptographic design it plans on using for its upcoming end-to-end encryption feature.

As a result of increased scrutiny from privacy and security experts - as well as hackers targeting meetings - Zoom has started making improvements to its platform and it has promised to implement changes and new features that would significantly enhance security and privacy.

After it was pointed out that Zoom is not offering true end-to-end encryption and the encryption that is available isn't the best, the company has promised to work on providing better encryption.

Zoom plans on rolling out AES 256-bit GCM encryption on May 30, but the company also plans on implementing true end-to-end encryption in the near future, for which it recently acquired secure messaging and file-sharing service Keybase.

Zoom announced this week that a detailed draft of its cryptographic design for end-to-end encryption will be made public on Friday.
