<strong>Session</strong> is an encrypted instant messenger that uses three random <a href="https://getsession.org/blog/onion-requests-session-new-message-routing-solution"> service nodes</a> to route messages anonymously on the <a href="https://oxen.io">Oxen Network</a>.
Session allows for E2EE in one-to-one or closed rooms that allow up to 100 members.
Open rooms have no restriction on the number of members, but anyone can join.
<h4>Notes</h4>
Session does <a href="https://getsession.org/blog/session-protocol-technical-information">not</a> support forward secrecy. The key pair for each conversation is not rotated.
<h4>Technical information</h4>
Session was independently <a href="https://getsession.org/session-code-audit/">audited</a> in 2020. The protocol is described in a <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.04609">whitepaper</a>.
