In 2020, Zoom Video Communications came under scrutiny for marketing its "Zoom" software as a secure, end-to-end encrypted solution for video conferencing. Zoom's documentation claimed that it used "AES-256" encryption. Without source code, did we have to take the docs at their word?

Syscall tracing, packet sniffing, and core dumps are great, but they rely on manual execution which might not hit all the desired code paths. Fortunately, there are other forms of analysis available.

Even if the APCA is much better than the WCAG's current naive contrast algorithms, it still doesn't account for all aspects of the relationship between perceptual contrast and color. [Discussion no. 74 on the SAPC-APCA repository](https://github.com/Myndex/SAPC-APCA/discussions/74) covers some shortcomings. For instance, the current APCA version does not account for [the Helmholtz–Kohlrausch effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmholtz%E2%80%93Kohlrausch_effect): highly-saturated colors appear "brighter" than de-saturated colors with the same brightness. Excessive perceptual brightness against dark backgrounds can trigger halation, eye-strain, and overstimulation.

If you want to use significant amounts of "emergency colors" like yellow and red, de-saturate them so their color feels muted. This site's dark theme uses very pale, washed-out yellow and violet for maximum contrast with minimal harshness.
