Zoom meetings currently offer encryption but with certain limitations.
Encryption is used to protect the identity of users, call data between Zoom clients and Zoom's infrastructure, and meeting contents.
The lack of full end-to-end encryption means that an attacker who can monitor Zoom's server infrastructure and gain access to the memory of the relevant Zoom servers could defeat the encryption for a specific meeting.
"We have proposed a roadmap for bringing end-to-end encryption technology to Zoom Meetings," Zoom said in its document.
After reviewing the feedback from customers and other interested parties, Zoom will update and refine its document and finally announce its plans for deploying the new end-to-end encryption and other security enhancements.
