Amazon starts rolling out Ring end-to-end encryption globally

[silversurfer]

Amazon-owned Ring has announced starting the worldwide roll out of video End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) to customers with compatible devices.
 
Ring first announced the release of E2EE in technical preview for US customers on January 13, 2021.
 
"Today, we're proud to announce that we're moving it out of technical preview and expanding the feature's availability to customers around the world," Ring said.
 
"By default, Ring already encrypts customer videos when they are uploaded to the cloud (in transit) and stored on Ring's servers (at rest).
 
"Now, customers around the world, with eligible Ring devices, can opt into video End-to-End Encryption, to add an extra layer of security that only allows their videos to be viewed on their chosen mobile device."
 
Once E2EE is set up via the Ring app, only the users' enrolled mobile devices have the key needed to unlock the customers' videos, preventing unauthorized access and ensuring that no one else—not even Ring or Amazon—can view them.
 
The company provides a list of Ring cameras and video doorbells with support for the just rolled out Video E2EE (battery-powered doorbells and cameras are not compatible with E2EE.)
