Abstract
The Messaging Layer Security (MLS) protocol enables a group of participants to negotiate a common cryptographic state for messaging, providing Forward Secrecy (FS) and Post-Compromise Security (PCS). There are some use cases where message ordering challenges may make it difficult for a group of participants to agree on a common state or use cases where reaching eventual consistency is impractical for the application. This document describes Distributed-MLS (DMLS), a composition protocol for using MLS sessions to protect messages among participants without negotiating a common group state.
