    Proton details Meet's MLS, WebRTC, and SRP security design

    Technical Analysis Update

    Proton says Meet uses Messaging Layer Security (MLS) with client-side encryption for media and chat, relies on WebRTC with Selective Forwarding Units (SFU), stores the meeting-link password locally on the client side, authenticates participants with Secure Remote Password (SRP), and limits realistic risk mainly to a compromised meeting link rather than readable server-side traffic or retained who-met-with-whom records.
