Encryption Questions Come to Gentle

Zoom’s documentation has a quantity of unclear claims about encryption that the platform provides. Some Zoom documentation (in addition to the Zoom app itself) claims that Zoom provides a function for “end-to-end (E2E) encrypted conferences.

Sometimes, the laptop safety group understands the time period “end-to-end encrypted” to imply that solely the events to the communication can entry it (and not any middlemen that relay the communication). Different Zoom documentation says that Zoom’s assembly software program for Home windows, MacOS, and Linux “by default” makes use of the industry-standard TLS 1.2 scheme for transport encryption, although a September 2014 blog post implies that this software program does not use TLS.
