Add Encryption Protocols information
editThe following is a quote from the Wiki article on Signal [1], which is the first software that implemented the Signal Protocol --
| "Signal messages are encrypted with the Signal Protocol (formerly known as the TextSecure Protocol). The protocol combines the Double Ratchet Algorithm, prekeys, and a Triple Diffie-Hellman (3XDH) handshake. It uses Curve25519, AES-256, and HMAC-SHA256 as primitives." |
This information needs to be added to this article. I believe the format for such information has already been established.

Export and Import Restrictions
editAre there any countries that restrict the export and import of technologies using the protocol? If so, that information should be added to this article. Squideshi (talk) 22:35, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
Proposed merge of Post-Quantum Extended Diffie-Hellman into Signal Protocol
editThe history section could be updated with the new extension and pretty much all the content of the PQXDH article could be copied over, maybe trimmed a little but not much. Alpha3031 (t • c) 14:58, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
- I counter-propose that the Post-Quantum Extended Diffie-Hellman article be merged instead with Diffie–Hellman key exchange, where it more appropriately belongs. Diffie-Hellman is a PART of Signal protocol, not the same thing. Epachamo (talk) 23:32, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
- Given this uncontested counterproposal, let's move to discuss this over at Talk:Diffie–Hellman key exchange, tagging Diffie–Hellman key exchange. Klbrain (talk) 14:57, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
Use wikidata for the infobox?
editIs there a reason why the infobox is hardcoded rather than pulling updateable data dynamically from wikidata? Relevant data such as the version number and other metadata already exist in Wikidata and could be incorporated into the infobox to ensure consistency and reduce the need for manual updates.
