Security News > 2020 > October > Remember when Zoom was rumbled for lousy crypto? Six months later it says end-to-end is ready

News of the trial comes after April 2020 awkwardness that followed the revelation that Zoom was fibbing about its service using end-to-end encryption.

"When we use the phrase 'End-to-end' in our other literature, it is in reference to the connection being encrypted from Zoom end point to Zoom end point," the company said.

Zoom quickly acquired secure messaging Keybase to give it the chops to build proper crypto.

Sharp-eyed Reg readers have doubtless noticed that Zoom has referred to "E2EE", not just the "E2E" contraction of "End-to-end".

Don't go thinking the preview means Zoom has squared away security, because the company says: "To use it, customers must enable E2EE meetings at the account level and opt-in to E2EE on a per-meeting basis."
