A giant leap forwards for encryption with MLS, https://matrix.org/blog/2023/07/a-giant-leap-with-mls/.

The Messaging Layer Security (MSL) protocol is a new encryption standard defined by the IETF (RFC9420), to provide a way for users of a messaging service to communicate securely without servers being able to eavesdrop on their conversations.

Matrix has been working on this with Cisco, Google, Mozilla, AWS, Wire and so on.

Matrix is working on making MSL decentralized too.
