Are there any cryptographic and/or network designs which allow end-to-end encryption of a group video chat without full meshing?

- chrischen 7y agoFacetime claims to be end-to-end encrypted and apple claims to not be able to decrypt it.
- ramshorns 7y agoAnd since Facetime is closed source, a claim is all we'll get. Jami is peer-to-peer and supports end-to-end encryption. Not sure if that counts or if that means it uses full meshing.
- folmar 7y agoThe point is not the crypto, but what WebRTC supports. As of now it does not. See https://webrtchacks.com/you-dont-have-end-to-end-encryption-e2ee/ https://webrtchacks.com/you-dont-have-end-to-end-encryption-... for reference
- detaro 7y agoOf course WebRTC is only a requirement if you want to be browser-based. And even then, some solutions use WebRTC data channels for video instead (e.g. Zoom's web version). They could do it, although you'd of course still be trusting the server to serve you the right thing.
