Are you aware of matrix? Their olm encryption scheme is capable of PFS, but it's not used exactly in order to provide history.
- daurnimator 7y agoYes I'm aware of matrix. A couple of things that I don't like about the matrix protocol are: 1. identity is tied to a server and users are not free to move between servers. 2. servers are assumed to be always online and have low latency.
- roblabla 7y ago1. There is work to fix the identity problem with Identity Servers. See https://matrix.org/faq/#what-is-an-identity-server%3F https://matrix.org/faq/#what-is-an-identity-server%3F 2. I'm not sure what gives this impression? I have a server that is very much on flaky network, and it federates just fine. The point is that servers can go online/offline without breaking anything on the whole network.
- ptman 7y agoThere is a proposal for decentralized user accounts: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues/915 https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues/915
- namibj 7y agoThere's also megaolm. Megaolm seems to be scaling better than other production setups, in practice.
