    Merry Ember Mou is an engineer at Zoom who works on end-to-end encryption for Zoom meetings. Integrating E2EE into an existing widely-used system has required particular consideration of architectural constraints and product requirements. This talk will highlight some of the design and implementation objectives and challenges from the initial release in October 2020. In addition, they will describe the next phases of improvements to E2EE, which include building a user-friendly notion of identity that is externally auditable and backed by a trusted third-party identity provider. With each phase, Zoom aims to make verifying meeting participants' identities (the "ends" of E2EE) as intuitive as possible.
