Investigation into Message Layer Security (MLS)
This article investigates Message Layer Security (MLS), the IETF standard protocol (RFC 9420) for Signal-style end-to-end encryption. Through a practical analysis of OpenMLS (the Rust reference implementation) and a demonstration CLI chat application (mls-chat), the post reveals the substantial gap between protocol specification and production deployment. Introduction MLS (Message Layer …

Developer Ecosystems for Software Safety
How to design and implement information systems so they are safe and secure is a complex topic. Both high-level design principles and implementation guidance for software safety and security are well established and broadly accepted. For example, Jerome Saltzer and Michael Schroeder’s seminal overview of principles of secure design was published almost 50 years ago,10 and various community and governmental bodies have published comprehensive best practices about how to avoid common software weaknesses—for example, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)a and Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP) Cheat Sheet Series.b
