Zoom plans to test its end-to-end encryption service in July and make it available to all users

Beat BlockBeats: On June 17, Zoom, a popular video conferencing app, officially announced that their software has finally implemented end-to-end encryption (E2EE). Both free and paying users can use the account as long as it passes Zoom's verification program.

According to the announcement, users should verify their mobile phone number via text messages during the testing phase, which began in July. The purpose of this step is to prevent the mass creation of abusive accounts.

The company says that all Zoom users will continue to use AES 256 GCM transmission encryption as the default encryption, which they consider "one of the most powerful encryption standards in use today." According to Zoom's white paper, E2EE will be an option that limits some conferencing capabilities, such as the ability to include traditional PSTN phone lines or SIP/H.

Keybase, a security information and cloud-based file-sharing service funded by the Stellar Development Foundation, became a subsidiary of Zoom on May 7, According to An earlier report by Beat. The team will lead security engineering efforts to develop end-to-end encryption for paying customers. Keybase co-founder Max Krohn joined Zoom as head of the security engineering team.
