thoughts on npub1mcgeqy32yndq3nw4898cg7xjuhu63vluzmuhpndj2klv6cxq9thqmdzdpy (npub1mcg…zdpy):
the base primitive is interesting! and almost simple, but
- using both 25519&448 curves is not simple! especially considering the lack of mature 448 implementations
- using both 25519&448 is kinda useless if 25519 is broken so will 448 be.
- using both 25519&448 is unnecessarily complex, the opposite of simple
- they use #3dh but have no long-term keys, how does that make sense?
- there is no cryptographic/protocol analysis nor threadmodel available
