![]() On May 7, 2020, Keybase announced it had been acquired by Zoom. The company warned that for calling into a meeting using the phone, using in-room meeting systems offered by other companies, and cloud recording, meetings will not be end-to-end encrypted. 2 Additionally it offers an end-to-end encrypted chat and cloud storage system,34. The cryptographic secrets will be under the control of the host, and the host’s client software will decide what devices are allowed to receive meeting keys, and thereby join the meeting. This key will be distributed between clients, enveloped with the asymmetric keypairs and rotated when there are significant changes to the list of attendees. An ephemeral per-meeting symmetric key will be generated by the meeting host. Here's how it will work: Logged-in users will generate public cryptographic identities that are stored in a repository on Zoom’s network and can be used to establish trust relationships between meeting attendees. Zoom will offer end-to-end encrypted meeting mode to all paid accounts. Zoom just confirmed it would buy identity management firm Keybase in a powerful security move that could significantly boost the fortunes of the video. There aren't any specific plans for a Keybase app yet, but "ultimately Keybase's future is in Zoom's hands, and we'll see where that takes us", Keybase said. The company will publish a detailed draft cryptographic design on May 22 for public review. This will help Zoom implement end-to-end encryption and scale it up to Zoom's current levels where the service is seeing more than 300 million daily meeting participants. ![]() Zoom has acquired Keybase, a key directory that maps social media identities to encryption keys and offers end-to-end encrypted chat (Keybase Chat) and cloud storage system (Keybase Filesystem), the companies announced yesterday.
