Is this project abandoned?

[tryoxiss]

Hi, I am working on a project which would require E2EE for ActivityPub and stumbled accross this. I know its early drafts, but the last commit seems to have been on 30 January 2023 -- over a year ago. I wanted to ask if this is being worked on (and thus could be used in the future) or if its an abandoned project and I should look elsewhere.

Thanks in advance!

No, it's not abandoned. I'll have updates as soon as I can.

Might want to check this article. It’s an interesting pattern: https://medium.com/@TalBeerySec/the-ambassador-protocol-multi-device-e2ee-with-privacy-5c906a2d210a

The next step in this project is actually being developed as a distinct, standalone component:

"Federated PKI" -> "Public Key Directory"

I will revisit this project once that one is closer to complete, because how this project will use it is interesting.
