[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] [AREDN-VA] AREDN 2020 Conference 10/24/2020

NIST: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2020-11500


Citizenlab: https://citizenlab.ca/2020/04/move-fast-roll-your-own-crypto-a-quick-look-at-the-confidentiality-of-zoom-meetings/

Verbatim from Citizen Lab:  “Unfortunately for those hoping for privacy, the implementation of call security in Zoom may not match its exceptional usability. We determined that the Zoom app uses non-industry-standard cryptographic techniques with identifiable weaknesses. In addition, during multiple test calls in North America, we observed keys for encrypting and decrypting meetings transmitted to servers in Beijing, China.
An app with easily-identifiable limitations in cryptography, security issues, and offshore servers located in China which handle meeting keys presents a clear target to reasonably well-resourced nation state attackers, including the People’s Republic of China.

At the end of the day it doesn't matter if you think zoom is secure, insecure, or anything else. For this conversation it's simple: A number of folks are excluded if zoom is used. If not, then everyone can participate.

Not that it matters here either since no one on here is making that call for the AREND meeting.

If I remember correctly, the Department of Defense uses Zoom.  They do have other platforms to hold classified meetings.  If there was an issue with Zoom, DoD would not use it.

Before you ask, yes, I work for DoD.
