  • “Everything is end-to-end encrypted… depending on how you define the ends.”
  • It is not great that they use the E2EE term to describe TLS, although it's for a good cause
  • Usenet and IRC over I2P.
  • Coauthor here, somewhat surprised to see this on HN. Any thoughts, questions, or feedback welcome.
  • Thanks for putting this together. Found via Schneier’s blog; I thought it was a good summary, and perhaps needed information in the face of attacks like Chat Control.
  • The paper says ghost protocol has never been implemented, but wasn't it widely used on trump administration version of the signal-custom-client, which sent messages to a ghost account responsible for indexing and backup of plain text copies?
  • I've been working on a project for the last six months that brings mTLS to the masses. Meaning, post-quantum end-to-end encryption with human readable identities. It uses a decentralized root of trust for, basically, a lot of the history this article covers.
  • Human readable identities are the hardest part (unless you just mean BIP-style word chains). What’s your approach look like? How do you prevent collisions?
