So Wait, How Encrypted Are Zoom Meetings Really?
The videoconferencing company Zoom has seen its star rise exponentially during the Covid-19 pandemic, as friends and coworkers increasingly turn to the service for a communication lifeline. A report in the Intercept on Tuesday noted that, based on its own technical white paper, Zoom had falsely marketed one of its features as making meetings "end-to-end encrypted." Zoom still, though, hasn't removed its "end-to-end encrypted" pitch everywhere on its website and in marketing materials. "In light of recent interest in our encryption practices, we want to start by apologizing for the confusion we have caused by incorrectly suggesting that Zoom meetings were capable of using end-to-end encryption," chief product officer Oded Gal wrote. The post also includes a diagram that seems to depict Zoom's system as being fully end-to-end encrypted for most audio and video calls.
