Zoom Acquires Keybase and Announces Goal of End to End Encryption
\nTransaction Marks Key Milestone in Zoom\u2019s 90-Day Security Plan
\n\"\"
\n<\/em>MANILA, Philippines, May 7, 2020 —  Zoom Video Communications, Inc.<\/a> (NASDAQ: ZM) and Keybase<\/a> today announced that Zoom has acquired Keybase, a secure messaging and file-sharing service. The acquisition of this exceptional team of security and encryption engineers will accelerate Zoom\u2019s plan to build end-to-end encryption that can reach current Zoom scalability. 
\n\u201cThere are end-to-end encrypted communications platforms. There are communications platforms with easily deployable security. There are enterprise-scale communications platforms. We believe that no current platform offers all of these. This is what Zoom plans to build, giving our users security, ease of use, and scale, all at once,\u201d said Eric S. Yuan, CEO of Zoom. \u201cThe first step is getting the right team together. Keybase brings deep encryption and security expertise to Zoom, and we\u2019re thrilled to welcome Max and his team. Bringing on a cohesive group of security engineers like this significantly advances our 90-day plan to enhance our security efforts.\u201d
\n\u201cKeybase is thrilled to join Team Zoom!\u201d said Max Krohn, Keybase.io co-founder and developer. \u201cOur team is passionate about security and privacy, and it is an honor to be able to bring our encryption expertise to a platform used by hundreds of millions of participants a day.\u201d
\nAs members of Zoom\u2019s security engineering function, the Keybase team will provide important contributions to Zoom\u2019s 90-day plan to proactively identify, address, and enhance the security and privacy capabilities of its platform. Krohn will lead the Zoom security engineering team, reporting directly to Yuan. Leaders from Zoom and Keybase will work together to determine the future of the Keybase product. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
