Does MLS encrypt or obfuscate metadata? End-to-end encryption really only provides value if it is impossible to be able to use the communication’s metadata to deduce the purpose, origin, and destination of the message.

9tr6gyp3 OP ,

MLS will handle the payload. The metadata will be handled by the individual messenger maintainers.

So in other words metadata handling isn’t part of the protocol itself?

9tr6gyp3 OP ,

It does encrypt some of the metadata, but a full audit of the servers and clients would reveal how effective it is. I do share the same concerns you have though.

That’s interesting that some of the metadata does get encrypted. I hope enough of it so that it makes it more difficult for an authoritarian government agency to draw conclusions from.
