Application of Terminal Audio Mixing in Multi-Bandwidth End-to-End Encrypted Voice Conference

Recently, the increasing frequency of cybersecurity incidents has raised concerns about communication security and personal privacy. In a zero-trust network environment, it is critically important to protect communication content and ensure that it is not intercepted, recorded, or stored without proper authorization. End-to-end encryption (E2EE) is a reliable solution for this purpose. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of remote work and virtual meetings, making the security of voice conferences a critical issue. This study aims to explore the application of end-to-end encryption technology in voice conferences. We designed and implemented an end-to-end encrypted voice conferencing system based on terminal-side mixing to ensure security while also being applicable in low-bandwidth network environments. The developed system effectively prevented man-in-the-middle attacks and data wiretaps, while maintaining high performance and low latency. It can be used in low-bandwidth scenarios such as satellite networks. The end-to-end encryption technology, when combined with terminal-side voice mixing, significantly enhances the security and usability of voice conferences as a new solution for secure communication in the future.
