Lifesize adds end-to-end encryption to meeting rooms

This option is available for all your video conferencing solutions, whether they are paying or free customers, for both meeting room systems and remote participants.

Lifesize end-to-end encryption

Lifesize has included end-to-end encryption (E2EE) in all group and point-to-point video conferences. This means encryption and authentication for both cloud services and cloud-connected meeting room devices..

As part of the launch, which will be automatically implemented on a rolling basis in the third quarter of this year, All your clients worldwide will be able to end-to-end encrypt any video conference using desktop applications, mobile or web, as well as through the Lifesize family of 4K meeting room systems.

Lifesize Rooms-as-a-ServiceAfter the launch of E2EE, Meeting hosts on all Lifesize subscriptions and free plans will be able to end-to-end encrypt their audio and video streams with a key that is securely shared among meeting participants.

Media will be encrypted from each participant, They will remain that way while in transit and on Lifesize servers., and can only be decrypted by those who have the key.

Lifesize will also give customers the option to manage their own encryption keys. When E2EE is applied, meeting recordings, PSTN call participants and support for third-party conference room devices will be automatically disabled.

Lifesize video infrastructure is built on WebRTC, both software clients (desktop applications, mobile and web) such as meeting room endpoint devices.

WebRTC has introduced a concept called Insertable Sequences (Insertable Streams). This allows the media stream to be modified on both output and input using a JavaScript worker, which gives the opportunity to apply encryption and decryption.

Besides, Lifesize offers more traditional PKI solutions and is working on the correct approach to joining a meeting and how the host can determine who gets the encryption key, as well as explore key rotation in the meeting and other improvements to this feature.

When E2EE is applied, meeting recordings, PSTN call participants and support for third-party conference room devices will be automatically disabled.
