Dynamic Encryption for Confidential Virtual Meeting Content
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Virtual meetings lack robust security measures to prevent unauthorized access and exposure of confidential content, posing challenges for meeting hosts and participants.
Innovation Solution
A system that generates encryption keys based on access permissions and uses machine learning to identify and encrypt confidential content in real-time, ensuring only authorized participants can access sensitive information during virtual meetings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If virtual meetings are conducted without additional security measures, then ease of operation is improved, but security reliability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-identifying confidential content in meeting agendas and pre-distributing appropriate encryption keys to participants before the meeting starts. This allows automatic security enforcement during the meeting without requiring hosts to manually monitor or control each interaction, thus maintaining ease of operation while ensuring security reliability.
2Reliability
If manual security monitoring is implemented by meeting hosts, then security reliability is improved, but device complexity and time consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service security by automatically identifying confidential content and applying appropriate encryption based on pre-defined policies. The system monitors meeting content and dynamically encrypts/decrypts streams without requiring host intervention, reducing both device complexity and time consumption while maintaining security reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the automated system continuously monitors meeting content, detects confidential information, and adjusts encryption in real-time based on what is being discussed. This feedback loop replaces manual monitoring with an automated system that provides the same security function without the associated complexity and time burden.
3Reliability
If manual security monitoring is implemented by meeting hosts, then security reliability is improved, but productivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service security by automatically identifying confidential content and applying appropriate encryption based on pre-defined policies. The system monitors meeting content and dynamically encrypts/decrypts streams without requiring host intervention, reducing both device complexity and time consumption while maintaining security reliability.
4Ease of operation
If encryption keys are distributed to all participants, then ease of operation is improved, but security reliability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by distributing different encryption keys to different participants based on their specific clearance levels and roles. Instead of giving everyone the same key, each participant receives only the keys necessary for their authorized content, making security enforcement automatic and transparent while maintaining both ease of operation and security reliability.

AI summary
Systems and methods are described for securing confidential content in a virtual meeting. In an example, a host can create a meeting agenda that identifies attendees and access restrictions for the meeting. A server can generate encryption keys corresponding to different confidentiality levels of content identified in the agenda. The encryption keys can be provided to user devices of the attendees based on the access permissions of the attendees. As the virtual meeting takes place, the server can encrypt confidential portions of the content stream for the meeting using the encryption keys. In an example, the server can also apply a machine learning algorithm to identify any confidential content in the content stream not previously identified. The server can encrypt additional confidential content where appropriate using encryption keys corresponding to the confidentiality level of the content.
