I worked as an intern with Mozilla last summer on helping to improve the issues around security in WebRTC specifically related to authentication and the possibility of MITM attacks. You can watch my intern presentation at [1] which goes through a very high level overview of the state of authentication in WebRTC and an example implementation of how WebRTC could be built into the browser to include authentication:

TLDR: E2E encryption is included, but authentication is currently non-existent, allowing for pretty easy MITM attacks if you have control of the relaying website.
