Is this the right place to ask question? (I came across from google results) Just curious about the intention "The reason why SDES is deprecated is that it is a security problem: It exposes session keys to Javascript, which means that entities with access to the negotiation exchange, or with the ability to subvert the Javascript, can decrypt the media sent over the connection." Is javascript a real concern? IIUC, the new insertable stream will allow javascript to be able to access media and the potential usage of it for E2EE will intentionally let javascript to handle E2EE keys.
Thanks.
