Video conferencing platform Zoom next week will start rolling out end-to-end encryption in technical preview.
"We're excited to announce that starting next week, Zoom's end-to-end encryption offering will be available as a technical preview, which means we're proactively soliciting feedback from users for the first 30 days," the company said earlier this week.
With E2EE, Zoom says, users will take advantage of the same encryption already available in Zoom meetings, with the main difference being where the encryption keys are stored.
Typically, these keys are generated in Zoom cloud and distributed to meeting participants, but with Zoom E2EE, the keys are generated and distributed by the meeting's host.
"End-to-end encryption is another stride toward making Zoom the most secure communications platform in the world. This phase of our E2EE offering provides the same security as existing end-to-end-encrypted messaging platforms, but with the video quality and scale that has made Zoom the communications solution of choice for hundreds of millions of people and the world's largest enterprises," said Zoom CEO Eric S. Yuan.
