### End-to-end encryption
La Suite Meet supports end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for meetings, ensuring that the media server (LiveKit SFU) cannot access audio/video content. Two encryption modes are available:
La Suite Meet supports end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for meetings, so the media server (LiveKit SFU) cannot read audio, video or screen-share content.
#### Basic encryption
#### How it works
- Passphrase-based the encryption key is embedded in the meeting URL hash (`#passphrase`)
- Uses LiveKit's built-in Worker + `crypto.subtle` (AES-GCM) for frame encryption
- Sharing the meeting link shares the encryption key
- No account or onboarding required
- Security depends on keeping the link private
- Each encrypted meeting carries a 48-character random passphrase appended to the URL hash (`#…`). The server never sees it; sharing the meeting link shares the key.
- Frames are encrypted in the browser via LiveKit's Worker + `crypto.subtle` (AES-GCM); only the media payload is encrypted, codec headers stay clear so the SFU can still packetize RTP.
- The runtime "is this call encrypted?" decision keys off the URL hash, not the database flag — a compromised server cannot fabricate a passphrase that all participants happen to share.
- The DB flag (`Room.is_encrypted`) is a hint used at room creation time only (so the Create button knows to generate a hash) and to detect link/server inconsistencies.
#### Advanced encryption
#### Opt-in by user
- Key managed by [La Suite Encryption](https://github.com/suitenumerique/encryption)the symmetric key never leaves the vault iframe
- Uses XChaCha20-Poly1305 (libsodium) via the VaultClient iframe for frame encryption
- Key distribution uses `vaultClient.shareKeys()` (hybrid PKI with X25519 + post-quantum slot)
- All participants must complete encryption onboarding (key generation + backup) before joining
- Requires a Chromium-based browser (Chrome, Edge, Brave) — uses the Insertable Streams API
End-to-end encryption is a per-user preference. In **Settings → Security**, signed-in users can enable "End-to-end encryption"from then on every meeting they create is encrypted by default. Joining is unaffected: if a meeting URL has a passphrase, the joining client uses it.
**Frame encryption (both modes):**
#### Pause / resume for recording and transcription
- Codec header bytes (VP8 payload descriptor) are preserved unencrypted — required for proper RTP packetization
- Only the media payload is encrypted, with a per-frame random nonce
- The server (LiveKit SFU) only forwards encrypted data it cannot read
While encryption is on, the SFU cannot record or transcribe (it has nothing to read). When an admin (or, if no admin is present, the longest-present participant — provided a pause has already been observed in the session) starts a recording or transcription:
**Trust levels (advanced mode):**
| Badge | Level | Description |
|-------|-------|-------------|
| 🟢 Green shield | Verified | User completed encryption onboarding (public key registered). Identity cryptographically verified. |
| 🔵 Blue shield | Authenticated | User signed in via ProConnect/OIDC. Identity server-verified. |
| 🟡 Orange warning | Anonymous | User not signed in. Self-declared name. Admin should verify identity before accepting. |
1. A confirmation dialog warns that encryption will be paused.
2. On confirm, an `ENCRYPTION_PAUSED` message is broadcast over a LiveKit reliable data channel. While the sender hasn't yet flipped its own state, that message is itself encrypted — which is the trust anchor: only callers holding the passphrase can produce frames everyone can decrypt.
3. Each receiver disables E2EE locally and republishes its tracks unencrypted.
4. Late joiners send an `ENCRYPTION_STATUS_PROBE` so the leader can re-emit the announcement to them.
5. When **both** recording and transcription stop, the participant who paused broadcasts `ENCRYPTION_RESUMED` and everyone re-enables E2EE with the same URL passphrase.
**Security guarantees:**
The pause state is intentionally session-only and never persisted — `Room.is_encrypted` does not flip.
- Encrypted rooms enforce restricted access (lobby approval required)
- Trust information (`is_authenticated`, `email`) comes from server-signed JWT tokens — cannot be spoofed
- Recording and transcription are not available in encrypted rooms (server cannot decrypt media)
#### Phone / SIP participants
**Configuration:**
Phone and other external devices can't decrypt our frames. When one joins an encrypted room, the backend webhook detects them, broadcasts a system notice (admins see a snackbar with an "Open settings" CTA), and removes the external participant. The admin can then disable encryption from the Security settings and the user can dial in again.
#### Configuration
```env
ENCRYPTION_ENABLED=true
ENCRYPTION_VAULT_URL=https://data.encryption.example.fr
ENCRYPTION_INTERFACE_URL=https://encryption.example.fr
```
When the encryption service is deployed and configured, rooms can use advanced encryption. Without it, only basic (passphrase) encryption is available.
Setting `ENCRYPTION_ENABLED=false` disables the user preference toggle entirely; existing encrypted rooms stay encrypted but no new ones can be created.
