Could you build this?
Partial While basic chat UIs are simple to generate, implementing a secure multi-device end-to-end encrypted messaging and calling protocol without phone numbers requires deep cryptographic engineering.
What it would actually take: A production version requires implementing the Signal Protocol (Double Ratchet, X3DH) or Matrix MLS protocol, alongside zero-knowledge device-pairing mechanisms like QR-based ephemeral key exchanges. Media calls require low-latency global TURN/STUN relay servers and encrypted WebRTC pipelines. Experienced security and cryptographic engineers are required to prevent identity leakage, replay attacks, and synchronization races across multiple offline/online client states.
