Objective
Determining if AES-256 Bit Encryption is used in a session.
Applies To
- Video API
- Encryption
- AES-256
Procedure
- To validate AES-256 is used in the session, check with webrtc internals logs. For example in Chrome, go to chrome://webrtc-internals before connecting the session.
- Download the webrtc internals dump and you will see that the media encryption used is AES-256.

Additional Information
Once AES-256 Encryption has been enabled, the changes go into effect immediately on the next session connection. For more information, see:
