Separate from my proposal for key transparency for the Fediverse (which I’ve certainly blogged about a lot), the W3C has been working on building out end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for Activity…
I’ve written tons about why this approach was taken, but it might be inaccessible to someone with limited knowledge of modern cryptography protocol design. (Authenticated encryption, forward secrecy, context commitment, etc.)
This was my earliest blog post on the topic, if you want a place to start.
I’d describe myself as a relatively knowledgeable layman. Essentially I know enough to use it effectively in a sysadmin/dbadmin capacity, but not got a good grasp of the underlying math.

The biggest unsolved problem in public key cryptography is knowing that a public key belongs to a particular individual. Making sure an attacker hasn’t swapped out keys or is impersonating you is a problem.with a non trivial solution
How much do you know about cryptography?

Thank you, I’ll take you up on that.
