I'm assuming that's Messaging Layer Security? https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9420.html

An RFC would be a big step up from piecing things together from code, and white papers from both Signal and Whatsapp(!), which was my experience getting libsignal working. That was back in 2018, though, so maybe the docs are better now.

A federated secure messaging client is a boss idea!

Bah, I'm trying to delay learning Rust as I've already got too many projects on the go 🤣

That does remind me though, I wonder what the Precursor https://betrusted.io/ is using for messaging (that's all Rust).

*checks*

Seems they're running at Matrix first, but a future Fediverse secure messaging client for that would be nice
