Session: End-To-End Encrypted Conversations With Minimal Metadata Leakage

Cryptography and Security 2024-07-04 v3

Abstract

Session is an open-source, public-key-based secure messaging application which uses a set of decentralised storage servers and an onion routing protocol to send end-to-end encrypted messages with minimal exposure of user metadata. It does this while providing the common features expected of mainstream messaging applications, such as multi-device syncing, offline inboxes, and voice/video calling.
