Zoom announced post-quantum end-to-end encryption for Meetings (with Phone and Rooms to follow), using the Kyber-768 (ML-KEM, FIPS 203) key encapsulation mechanism; all participants must use the Zoom app, free hosts must verify by SMS, and encryption keys are client-controlled (not stored on Zoom servers), with some feature trade-offs. The move aligns with broader adoption of quantum-resistant cryptography amid harvest now, decrypt later concerns.
