Could you build this?
Partial The client UI and standard chat features are simple to vibe-code, but implementing a cryptographically secure, production-grade end-to-end encrypted messaging infrastructure with robust key exchange and offline queues requires deep security engineering.
What it would actually take: A credible E2EE messenger relies on implementing the Signal Protocol (Double Ratchet, X3DH, and pre-keys) or Matrix protocol using hardened native cryptographic libraries (like libsignal or libsodium). The backend requires an untrusted, high-throughput relay server (often in Erlang/Go with WebSockets) managing blind rendezvous, ephemeral message delivery queues, and push notification proxies that omit metadata. Cryptographic protocol verification, replay protection, and security audit readiness require specialized cybersecurity and cryptography expertise.
