Notes

Abstract

Messaging Layer Security (MLS) is an IETF standard (RFC9420) for end-to-end encryption in messaging systems. However, it requires a delivery service that determines an ordering of handshake messages, which does not fit with certain messaging architectures. In this talk, we will explore some of the work that has been done to make MLS work in a distributed/decentralized environment, and look at some of the remaining issues.
