Can anyone explain how chat interoperability could work while maintaining meaningful encryption?

  I don't know but at least now will find out.

  You send your friend your public key. He sends you his public key. You can now chat over any protocol as long as you encrypt the payload using your keys. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography

    How does this for people who aren’t security experts? Most people will at some point lose their private key.

  > meaningful encryption I don't think that was table stakes for SMS, iMessage or RCS. "Encryption", with the caveat that all first-world law enforcement can peek inside if they want, is not meaningful. Sorry.
