End-to-end encryption is pretty important in the world of messaging, because there’s no telling who might be out there trying to read your communications. The problem is that those services tend to operate on their own, with their own encryption and restricting your messaging to others on the same platform. Google thinks it's about time that changed.
Google has announced its support for a new standard that would enable better interoperability between different messaging platforms. Specifically the RFC 9420 specifications of the Internet Engineering Task Force’s (IETF) Messaging Layer Security (MLS) standard.
