Messaging Layer Security (MLS) Targeted Messages

streamIETF groupmls stateactive pages11 rev00 expires2026-09-03 canonicalhttps://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mls-targeted-messages/
This document defines targeted messages for the Messaging Layer Security (MLS) protocol. A targeted message allows a member of an MLS group to send an encrypted and authenticated message to another member of the same group without creating a new group. The mechanism reuses Hybrid Public Key Encryption (HPKE) and the MLS key schedule to provide confidentiality, authentication, and binding to the group state.
