Join encrypted from a scanned encryption_key link - #1820
Merged
Conversation
A scanned QR code or deeplink carrying the web demo's encryption_key parameter now joins the call encrypted, using the passphrase in the link. The key is applied by overriding join(), since setE2EEManager is rejected once a session exists. Reuses the lobby's deriveE2EEKey so the derivation stays identical to the web demo, which is what makes a cross-platform test call decrypt at all. The WebRTC native library is loaded explicitly first: EncryptionManager's JNI is registered in JNI_OnLoad, and a scanned link joins without ever building a PeerConnectionFactory, unlike the lobby's camera preview.

SDK Size Comparison 📏

The in-call share sheet and its QR code emitted a bare join link, so scanning the code of an encrypted call produced a join the scanner could not decrypt. Both now carry the encryption_key parameter, matching the web demo's link format. The passphrase is held in memory keyed by call cid, since deriving the key discards it. It is deliberately not persisted and never attached to anything the coordinator stores: that would hand the server the key.

Holding passphrases in a map keyed by call ID meant a leftover entry from an earlier session of the same ID could be attached to a later link, so a plain call could advertise a key it was not using — and demo call IDs are short and reused. The holder now keeps a single call at a time and answers only for the ID it was stored against. The link also gates on the SDK's own e2eeEnabled state rather than on merely having a passphrase, so the parameter appears only when the call is really encrypted.

WalkthroughThe demo app adds E2EE passphrase handling across call setup, deeplink parsing, in-memory storage, and invite sharing. CallActivity configures encryption before joining and cleans up E2EE state when it finishes. ChangesDemo E2EE invite flow
Priority: ⬇️ Low Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Encrypted demo invite links now pass a shared key into call setup and sharing, but the key can be written to device logs, joining can block while deriving it, and setup errors can leave an invite joining without encryption. These issues should be corrected before merge to preserve expected call confidentiality and responsiveness. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

- Around line 152-153: Update CallActivity.join and the surrounding E2EE setup
so deriveE2EEKey runs before join, its result is cached, and enableE2EE only
attaches the cached key without runBlocking or other caller-thread blocking;
ensure the cached key is available before super.join and revise the nearby
comment accordingly.
- Around line 154-157: Update the E2EE setup failure handling in the join flow
around the getOrElse branch so a failed key derivation aborts before super.join
is invoked, rather than continuing without an encryption manager. Surface the
error or navigate the user back consistently for every E2EE failure branch,
while preserving the existing successful join path.
In `@demo-app/src/main/kotlin/io/getstream/video/android/DeeplinkingActivity.kt`:
- Around line 202-204: Redact the encryption_key query parameter before the
deeplink URI is written to debug logs, replacing its value with
“<redacted>” while preserving the remaining URI data. Update the deeplink
logging flow around extractEncryptionKey and ensure the original URI is still
used for extracting the passphrase and launching the call.

Goal
Closes AND-1512 — a scanned QR code or deeplink carrying
encryption_keynow joins the call E2EE-encrypted with that passphrase instead of dropping it.Implementation
DeeplinkingActivityforwardsencryption_keyfrom theUritoCallActivityas an intent extra.CallActivity.join()derives the key and attaches aStreamEncryptionManagerbeforesuper.join()—Call.setE2EEManageris rejected once a session exists.deriveE2EEKey(PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256, saltstream-e2ee, 100k iterations, 128-bit, slot 0) so the passphrase yields the same key as on web.PeerConnectionFactory, socreate()otherwise fails withUnsatisfiedLinkError.demo-app only; no SDK modules touched.
Testing
On-device testing is needed to verify this against an encrypted call.
