Specifications for Status clients

This repository contains a list of specifications for implementing Status and its various capabilities.

Current state

As of August 2019, we are currently in the process of documenting current specifications. We are als implementing an isolated reference library for them. These specifications are expected to be frozen at the Status V1 launch and be used as a reference point for client implementers and security audits.

Status Improvement Proposals (SIPs)

Accepted

No accepted SIPs right now.

Draft

The following SIPs are under consideration for standardization.

Status Client Specification. The main specification for writing a Status client. Start here
Status Secure Transport Specification. How Status provide a secure transport with conversational security properties.
Status Payload Specification. What the message payloads look like.
Status Account Specification. What a Status account is and how trust is established.
Status Whisper Usage Specification. How we use Whisper to do routing, metadata protection and provide 1:1/group/public chat.
Status Whisper Mailserver Specification. How we use Whisper mailservers to provide offline inboxing.

Protocol Research

These are protocols that are currently being researched. These are designed to be useful outside of Status as well. To the extent that these protocols are used within Status clients, they will show up as SIPs in the future.
