How does MLS work, and how is it more efficient for group chat encryption compared to the Signal protocol

192 viewsOtherTechnology

The IETF proposed the MLS protocol (message layer security) a couple of months ago, which is supposed to replace the Signal protocol for group chats (apparently the cost needed to make new group keys scales logarithmically with this protocol, compared to Signal’s linear cost). How does this protocol work and how is this any different from Signal’s protocol?
