Zoom to Enables End to End Encryption As Like WhatsApp

Video chat app Zoom has announced to enable the end-to-end encryption in video chat as like Whatsapp to protect them from cyber crooks. The security feature, which is also present in apps like WhatsApp, covers video calls and is launching as a trial in July.

Zoom has also made it clear that the feature would be enabled only to such users who provide a verified phone number. Earlier, Zoom had planned to strengthen encryption only for its paying clients. Encryption effectively hides calls behind lines of code that are indecipherable to anyone other than the sender and recipient.

Post COVID-19 lock down, Zoom has attracted millions of free and paying customers as the focus was much on to work from home. Zoom had faced many criticism over privacy and security issues related to its video app.
