@benpate I wouldn't count on that.

In the announcement Mastodon team credits SWF for work on E2EE, not the people doing actual research. That's part of the deal.

@benpate As somebody who also thought about E2EE (MLS was my suggestion), I can confidently say that SWF spec didn't add much to the discussion. That's not surprising, because to do that one needs to actually start writing code.
