Zoom provides end-to-end encryption to free users

As Zoom had previously announced, end-to-end encryption E2EE has begun offering technology previews. It can also be used as a free member.

Although it attracted attention as the Corona 19 outbreak broke out, Zoom has been criticized for privacy and security issues such as not being encrypted. Accordingly, in May, it acquired Keybase, which has end-to-end encryption technology. Initially, E2EE was only available for paid accounts, but the policy was changed so that it can be used for free accounts.

At the start of the technology preview, E2EE will be available in desktop clients, mobile apps, and Zoom Room. The iOS version is said to be awaiting approval from Apple. Meeting organizers can designate the use of E2EE, and in order for E2EE to participate in a valid meeting, the participating party must also activate E2EE. If E2EE is not activated, a green icon is displayed in the upper left corner of the screen.

In addition, the E2EE technology evaluation is scheduled in four stages. Currently, in the first phase, some features such as streaming and live translation and private chat are not available. In addition, in the second step that follows, it is expected to provide better identity management. Related information can be found here .

Through the monthly AHC PC and HowPC magazine era, he has watched 'technology age' in online IT media such as ZDNet, electronic newspaper Internet manager, editor of Consumer Journal Ivers, TechHolic publisher, and editor of Venture Square. I am curious about this market that is still full of vitality.
