Zoom announced the addition of post-quantum end-to-end encryption (E2EE) using the Kyber 768 key method to Zoom Workplace. Available in Zoom Meetings worldwide and coming soon to Zoom Phone and Zoom Rooms, this marks Zoom as the first unified communications-as-a-service company to offer a post-quantum E2EE solution. Other major companies are also implementing post-quantum encryption.
The key takeaways from the meeting notes are:
1. Zoom has announced the addition of post-quantum end-to-end encryption (E2EE) using the Kyber 768 key encapsulation method to Zoom Workplace.
2. The feature is currently available worldwide in Zoom Meetings, with Zoom Phone and Zoom Rooms set to offer it soon.
3. Zoom claims to be the first unified communications-as-a-service company to provide a post-quantum E2EE solution for video conferencing.
4. Michael Adams, CISO at Zoom, emphasized the significance of offering customers a secure platform that adapts to the evolving security threat landscape and stated that the launch of post-quantum E2EE reflects Zoom’s commitment to continuously enhancing security features.
5. Major companies, like Apple and HP, have already started implementing post-quantum encryption and quantum attack protection in their products in response to the potential threat posed by quantum computing attacks in the future.
6. The current concern for many companies revolves around ‘Harvest Now, Decrypt Later’ attacks, where threat actors collect and store encrypted communications with the intent of decrypting them in the future when quantum computers become available.
7. There are several related developments in the field of post-quantum cryptography and quantum decryption, including the formation of alliances and advancements in encryption algorithms.
