What is an encrypted video conferencing API?

An encrypted video conferencing API is a programmable interface that lets developers embed video meetings into their applications with multiple layers of encryption protecting media streams, recordings, and metadata. V100 provides three layers: AES-256-GCM at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, and post-quantum end-to-end encryption using ML-KEM-768 + X25519 hybrid key exchange (FIPS 203).

How does V100 post-quantum encryption compare to Zoom and Teams?

Zoom and Microsoft Teams use AES-256-GCM encryption but rely on classical key exchange (ECDH). V100 uses ML-KEM-768 + X25519 hybrid key exchange (FIPS 203) which protects against both classical and quantum computing attacks. V100 also signs recordings with ML-DSA-65 Dilithium (FIPS 204), which neither Zoom nor Teams offers.

What is zero-knowledge meeting mode?

Zero-knowledge mode means V100's servers never have access to unencrypted meeting content. Encryption keys are derived entirely on client devices using ML-KEM-768 key encapsulation. The server relays encrypted media packets without the ability to decrypt them, even under compulsion.

POST-QUANTUM ENCRYPTED

Encrypted Video Conferencing API
with Post-Quantum E2E

An encrypted video conferencing API is a programmable interface that lets developers embed video meetings into applications with multiple independent layers of encryption protecting media streams, recordings, metadata, and signaling channels. V100 provides AES-256-GCM encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 for all data in transit, and post-quantum end-to-end encryption using ML-KEM-768 + X25519 hybrid key exchange (FIPS 203) with ML-DSA-65 Dilithium recording signatures (FIPS 204). It is the most encrypted video conferencing platform ever built -- offering zero-knowledge meeting mode, per-session ephemeral keys, forward secrecy, and a roadmap for fully homomorphic encryption over meeting metadata.

Why Video Encryption Needs to Be Rethought

Most video platforms encrypt media in transit and call it secure. That is insufficient. Recordings stored today can be decrypted by future quantum computers using Shor's algorithm against classical key exchanges. Metadata leaks reveal who met whom, when, and for how long -- even when the video content itself is encrypted. A genuinely encrypted video conferencing API must protect content, metadata, and recordings against both current and future threats.

Harvest Now, Decrypt Later

Nation-state adversaries are already collecting encrypted traffic to decrypt once quantum computers reach sufficient qubit counts. NIST estimates this could happen within the next 10 to 15 years. Every video recording encrypted with classical-only key exchange is vulnerable. V100's ML-KEM-768 hybrid key exchange makes harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks futile because the post-quantum component resists Shor's algorithm entirely.

Metadata Is Content

Knowing that a patient spoke with an oncologist for 45 minutes reveals information even without decrypting the video. V100's zero-knowledge mode encrypts participant identities and session metadata on the client before they reach V100's infrastructure. The server sees encrypted blobs, not participant names, durations, or meeting topics. Our FHE metadata roadmap will allow server-side analytics without ever decrypting the underlying data.

Server-Side Decryption Is a Liability

Platforms that decrypt media on their servers to perform mixing, transcoding, or transcription create a single point of compromise. A subpoena, insider threat, or breach can expose every meeting. V100's zero-knowledge mode keeps decryption keys exclusively on client devices. The server relays encrypted media packets without the cryptographic material needed to read them, even under legal compulsion.

How V100 Encryption Works: Five Independent Layers

V100 implements defense in depth with five cryptographic layers. Each layer operates independently -- compromising one does not weaken the others. This is not marketing language. These are specific algorithms, standards, and implementation details your security team can audit.

At-Rest Encryption: AES-256-GCM

ACTIVE ON ALL PLANS

Every recording, transcript, thumbnail, and metadata artifact stored in V100's infrastructure is encrypted using AES-256-GCM with unique per-object encryption keys. Keys are managed through AWS KMS with automatic rotation. GCM mode provides both confidentiality and authenticity -- any tampering with encrypted data is detected during decryption. This layer protects against physical media theft, unauthorized storage access, and cloud provider insider threats.

In-Transit Encryption: TLS 1.3

ACTIVE ON ALL PLANS

All API calls, webhook deliveries, SDK communications, and CDN asset retrievals are protected by TLS 1.3 with no fallback to TLS 1.2 or earlier. TLS 1.3 eliminates legacy cipher suites, reduces handshake latency to one round trip, and provides forward secrecy by default through ephemeral Diffie-Hellman key exchange. WebRTC media streams use DTLS-SRTP with mandatory encryption. V100 enforces HSTS with a minimum max-age of one year across all endpoints.

Post-Quantum E2E: ML-KEM-768 + X25519 Hybrid

FIPS 203 | ALL PLANS

V100's end-to-end encryption uses a hybrid key encapsulation mechanism combining ML-KEM-768 (the NIST-standardized post-quantum algorithm, formerly Kyber) with X25519 classical elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman. The hybrid approach means security is maintained even if one algorithm is broken. Each meeting session generates ephemeral key pairs on every client device. The shared secret is derived by concatenating both the ML-KEM and X25519 shared secrets and passing them through HKDF-SHA256. Media frames are encrypted with AES-256-GCM using per-frame keys derived from the session secret. This provides forward secrecy -- compromising one session's keys does not affect past or future sessions.

PQ-Signed Recordings: ML-DSA-65 Dilithium

FIPS 204 | PRO+

Every recording and transcript produced by V100 is digitally signed using ML-DSA-65 (Dilithium), the NIST-standardized post-quantum digital signature algorithm (FIPS 204). The signature covers the recording content, metadata (participant list, timestamps, duration), and a SHA-256 content hash. Anyone can verify a recording's integrity using V100's public verification endpoint without needing an API key. These signatures remain secure against quantum computing attacks, ensuring that recordings created today can be verified decades from now.

Zero-Knowledge Meeting Mode

ENTERPRISE

In zero-knowledge mode, V100's servers act as encrypted relay nodes. All encryption and decryption happens on client devices. The server never possesses the cryptographic keys needed to decrypt media streams, participant identities, or meeting topics. Meeting metadata (who joined, duration, participant count) is encrypted client-side before being sent to V100 infrastructure. This means V100 cannot comply with subpoenas for meeting content because V100 does not have the technical ability to decrypt it. Zero-knowledge mode is available on Enterprise plans and disables server-side features that require content access (transcription, recording, AI highlights).

Roadmap: FHE Metadata Analytics

V100 is developing fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) capabilities for meeting metadata. This will allow server-side analytics -- aggregate meeting duration, participant counts, engagement scores -- to be computed over encrypted data without ever decrypting it. Built on BFV lattice-based FHE with SIMD batching for practical performance. Expected availability: Q3 2026.

Integration Guide

Enable post-quantum encrypted video conferencing with a single API call. Encryption is not an add-on -- it is the default behavior. Every session uses AES-256-GCM and TLS 1.3 automatically. Set encryption: 'post-quantum' to activate ML-KEM-768 E2E.

create-encrypted-meeting.js

// npm install v100-sdk
import { V100 } from 'v100-sdk';

const v100 = new V100('v100_live_YOUR_API_KEY');

// Create a post-quantum encrypted video meeting
const meeting = await v100.meetings.create({
  name: 'Board Strategy Session',
  encryption: 'post-quantum',       // ML-KEM-768 + X25519 hybrid E2E
  zeroKnowledge: false,            // true = server cannot decrypt anything
  recording: {
    enabled: true,
    pqSigned: true               // ML-DSA-65 Dilithium signature
  },
  maxParticipants: 200,
  features: {
    transcription: true,           // Requires zeroKnowledge: false
    noiseSuppression: true,
    virtualBackgrounds: true
  }
});

// meeting.id           → "mtg_pq_abc123"
// meeting.joinUrl      → "https://meet.v100.ai/mtg_pq_abc123"
// meeting.encryption   → { algorithm: "ML-KEM-768+X25519", e2e: true }
// meeting.recording.signature → { algorithm: "ML-DSA-65", status: "pending" }

// Verify a recording's signature after the meeting
const verification = await v100.recordings.verify('rec_abc123');
// verification.valid     → true
// verification.algorithm → "ML-DSA-65"
// verification.signedAt  → "2026-03-28T14:30:00Z"

Or use the REST API directly:

terminal

curl -X POST https://api.v100.ai/v1/meetings \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer v100_live_YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Board Strategy Session",
    "encryption": "post-quantum",
    "zeroKnowledge": false,
    "recording": { "enabled": true, "pqSigned": true },
    "maxParticipants": 200
  }'

Use Cases for Encrypted Video Conferencing

Post-quantum encrypted video is not a niche feature. Any organization that records meetings, handles sensitive client information, or operates in a regulated industry benefits from encryption that protects against both current and future threats.

Healthcare and Telehealth

HIPAA requires encryption of protected health information at rest and in transit. V100 exceeds these requirements with post-quantum E2E encryption and Dilithium-signed recordings that serve as tamper-proof medical records. BAA available on Pro and Enterprise plans.

Financial Services

Investment banks, hedge funds, and trading desks discuss market-moving information over video. V100's zero-knowledge mode ensures that even V100 cannot access meeting content. PQ-signed recordings satisfy SEC and FINRA record-keeping requirements with cryptographic integrity guarantees.

Legal and Attorney-Client Privilege

Attorney-client privilege requires that privileged communications remain confidential. Zero-knowledge mode ensures that V100 cannot be compelled to produce meeting content because V100 does not have the cryptographic keys. Dilithium signatures prove recordings have not been altered post-session.

Government and Defense

Government agencies are mandated by CNSA 2.0 to adopt post-quantum cryptography. V100 uses NIST-standardized FIPS 203 and FIPS 204 algorithms, making it the only video API currently aligned with CNSA 2.0 transition timelines for classified and sensitive-but-unclassified communications.

Research and IP Protection

Pharmaceutical companies, biotech firms, and R&D labs discuss trade secrets and pre-patent inventions over video. Harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks against classical encryption could expose this IP decades before patents expire. V100's ML-KEM-768 hybrid key exchange eliminates this risk.

Cross-Border Communications

Organizations with offices in multiple jurisdictions face varying data protection laws (GDPR, PIPL, LGPD). Zero-knowledge mode ensures that meeting content never leaves clients unencrypted, simplifying cross-border data transfer compliance because V100 servers only process encrypted data.
