## Introduction
This specification describes the protocols used by Status to achieve Perfect
Forward Secrecy and other conversational security properties for 1:1 chat
participants. It builds on the
[X3DH](https://signal.org/docs/specifications/x3dh/) and [Double

from Open Whisper Systems, with some adaptations to operate in a decentralized
environment.
