Certainly. Thanks <3

The client side is its own beast. See https://github.com/soatok/mastodon-e2ee-specification?tab=readme-ov-file#components from my initial project (the "key transparency" thing from today slots neatly into the "Federated PKI" hole).

No, if you read the post it will make more sense.

Or the specification if you're more technical.

If you want E2EE for Mastodon, you need key management to be solved first.

This solves a lot of the key management pain. It's not v1.0 stable yet, but it's finally implemented. I've been working on the spec for nearly 2 years.
