All WebRTC needs to be as secure as a service like ostel.me is a browser 
extension implementing ZRTP authentication between you and the callee.  This 
approach does not rely on PKI and does not need a server in between caller and 
callee.  

Also the ZRTP authentication string some of you are seeing today in WebRTC is 
not end-to-end ZRTP it is only the ZRTP fingerprint between the SIP server and 
a ZRTP compatable SIP client like CSipSimple.
Make sense?

"One of the interesting aspects of WebRTC is that it has encryption baked right 
into it; there's actually no way to send unencrypted media using a WebRTC 
implementation. The developing specifications currently use DTLS-SRTP 
keying[1], and that's what both Chrome and Firefox implement.”
