It's surprisingly hard to find Noise on Google. This is the problem with naming something with a very common word.
Other than that, Noise looks very interesting. It's from the same guy who came up with TextSecure's Axolotl ratchet and I think he was the main or one of the main (along with Moxie) architects of TACK, in case you're wondering who wrote this:

- tptacek 12y agoI think TextSecure uses the Axolotl construction; it doesn't belong to TextSecure. An interesting illustration of the power/benefit of branding: lots of people who don't really "do" crypto know the name of a key exchange ratchet. There's a lesson here that is applicable outside of crypto.
