Abstract
Disclosed is MeshTalk, a decentralized, E2E encrypted messaging protocol utilizing KTKN-OS that eliminates reliance on central servers and phone numbers. The core innovation is the replacement of centralized identity providers with cryptographic identities managed by KTKN-OS . Users create self-sovereign identities and establish connections by sharing keys directly (e.g., QR codes). Each conversation (direct or group) is implemented as an independent KTKN-OS Space, with messages stored as encrypted CRDT documents within the Space's database. This ensures E2E encryption and P2P replication directly between participants. The protocol is transport-agnostic, supporting integration with low-bandwidth mesh networks (e.g., LoRa).
