!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is a [Key Management] [algorithm] that was developed by Trevor Perrin and Moxie Marlinspike in [2013|Year 2013].
[{$pagename}] can be used as part of a [cryptographic] [protocol] to provide [End-to-end Encryption] for instant messaging.
[{$pagename}] an initial [Key-Exchange] it manages the ongoing renewal and maintenance of short-lived [Session Keys].
[{$pagename}] combines a [cryptographic] ratchet based on the [Diffie-Hellman key-exchange] (DH) and a ratchet based on a [Key Derivation Function] ([KDF]) like e.g. a [Hash Function] and is therefore called a double ratchet.
The developers refer to the algorithm as self-healing because it automatically disables an attacker from accessing the cleartext of later messages after having compromised a session key.[3]
