- I was looking for "desktop-solutions" comparable to Zoom, so WhatsApp and Telegram are out of the question (Telegram doesn't do group calls AFAICS). Some notes: - Wire has published a detailed whitepaper on e2ee. https://wire-docs.wire.com/download/Wire+Security+Whitepaper... - Jami (formerly GNU Ring) has an interesting post about having e2e here: https://security.stackexchange.com/a/162603/243716 - Jitsi e2e is testable, but they note that it's not completely finished. Key exchange has to be done manually. - https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/issues/9893 suggests BigBlueButton don't have e2e yet - Wikipedia claims "no encryption protocol" for OpenMeetings https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_OpenMeetings --- So that leaves Wire and Jami. Thanks for the info!
In Zoom lied to users about end-to-end encryption for years, FTC says
