OKTA, the top independent identity provider, has introduced a new identity verification tool for Zoom meetings that makes use of Okta to validate a conference attendee's identity by email (E2EE). By using this identity authentication and attestation, which is enabled by Okta, you may determine for yourself whether a meeting participant is who they claim to be.

All of Zoom's paid users have access to Okta Authentication for E2EE. In the Security tab of the Zoom Web Portal, account administrators for Zoom can enable Okta Authentication for E2EE. A meeting participant can authorise sharing of their identify by turning on the feature in their personal settings after the Zoom account admin has enabled it.

That's interesting! Okta is a well-known identity and access management provider, and this new tool for Zoom meetings should help enhance the security and authenticity of participants in a meeting. Email verification is a common and widely used method for identity validation, so this feature should be easy to use for participants.

It's great that Okta Authentication for E2EE is available for all paid Zoom users, and that the feature can be enabled by account administrators in the Security tab of the Zoom Web Portal. This should make it easy for organizations to adopt the new identity verification tool and help improve the security of their Zoom meetings.

It's worth noting that enabling this feature may result in additional steps for meeting participants to authenticate their identity before joining a meeting, which could potentially create some inconvenience. However, this is a small price to pay for the added security and peace of mind it provides.
