    Abstract: A method of organizing an end-to-end encrypted online meeting for a group of members including a creator. The method includes: maintaining, by each member in the online meeting including the creator, a group tree from which is derivable a group key required for communication between members in the online meeting; accessing, by the creator, a key package associated with a member of the group; adding to the online meeting, by the creator and based on the key package, the member associated with the key package; updating, by the creator, the group tree maintained by the creator; generating, by the creator and based on the updated group tree, one or more encrypted secret keys required for deriving the group key; and transmitting, by the creator and via a server, the updated group tree and the one or more encrypted secret keys to each other member in the online meeting.

    Abstract: An end-to-end group messaging method or apparatus organizes a plurality of local groups of members into local-group (LG) trees and a public-group (PG) tree. Each tree has a plurality of nodes including a root node connecting to a plurality of leaf nodes. Each LG tree corresponds to a local group. Each member of a local group is associated with a leaf node of the corresponding LG tree. Each LG tree is associated with a leaf node of the PG tree. Members of a same local group may establish communication therebetween by using a group key associated with the root node of the LG tree of the local group. Members of all local groups may establish communication therebetween by using a group key associated with the root node of the PG tree.
