I just published a video of the new "end to end encryption" protocol for ActivityPub in #Emissary. The UX is rougher than I'd like, but you can see the client app is coming along nicely.

Today, it sends and receives messages using MLS, a widely used industry standard and successor to the Signal protocol.

By June 2026, it should be ready for you.

For more details on the project and my progress, see: https://emissary.dev/e2ee

And.. you probably know, but just in case:

We have a solid spec for E2EE on the Fediverse now (https://swicg.github.io/activitypub-e2ee/mls) with #Emissary and #Bonfire launching later this year.

As you'd expect with end-to-end-encryption, *most* of the work is on the browser/client. The AP server changes are minimal: a new KeyPackage object to store, a new collection, & other small stuff.

When we have working JS code, it'll be AGPL, and you could use it as a baseline for Mastodon 😎

Wouldn’t it be cool if you could send encrypted DM’s on the Fediverse BEFORE you could do it in Bluesky? #JustBetweenUs

I've just sent the first end-to-end-encrypted #MLS messages from one #Emissary instance to another.

News from around the USA really has me down, so it's important to celebrate the little wins 🎉

And, there's still so much to do. But with equal quantities of luck and caffeine, I can screencast some early prototypes for you before too long.

I believe #E2EE is important for the #Fediverse because it will give us more ways to use this network, and expand what people can do here.
