@delta please correct me if i’m wrong. from your post it sound like what you call “zero metadata” isn’t metadata resistant in the sense that it doesn’t leak timing patterns to relay/mta or network adversaries, right?

@jaseg yes, it's about message header metadata, and the fact that no cryptographic identities are visible on the transport layer, making it hard for hostile servers to track anything when users change relays. This blog post is not a security whitepaper, which we admittedly still need to update […]

@delta thanks for the clarification. speaking from my network security background, the whole timing leakage is what i’d call metadata and what your “zero metadata” thing is protecting (AFAIU timestamps and cryptographic identities) in a cryptographic protocol i’d consider straight up data, not […]
