summary

This blog post aims to demystify the Signal Protocol, which is used for end-to-end encryption (E2EE) in messaging services like Signal and WhatsApp. The article explains the basics of E2EE and how it differs from other encryption methods. It then delves into the technical details of the Signal Protocol, including its double ratchet algorithm, perfect forward secrecy, and its security properties. The author highlights the importance of E2EE in protecting user privacy and provides a clear and concise overview of the Signal Protocol's functionalities and strengths.
