Opposition to this objective may come from a variety of directions. There are a variety of properties that can be demanded in order to call a system “secure.” At minimum it means that the system provides authenticity and confidentiality: no unauthorized party can inject a message into the system and no unintended party can get to understand the communications without being given them by one of the correspondents. The primary objective of the Wickr Secure Messaging Protocol is to provide secure communication between two or more correspondents. This infographic is designed as a high level visualization of the Wickr Messaging Protocol.

Full technical detail can be obtained by reviewing the source code, which is available for review here. while also providing value to a wider audience of users and interested parties. Our goal is to offer enough technical detail to allow security experts and cryptographers to observe the protocol’s security design, use of cryptographic primitives, etc. This document is intended as a summary of the protocol and an aid to those who wish to audit the source code. It is a method for sending messages with a set of security properties that we will explore in what follows.


The Wickr Secure Messaging Protocol provides a platform for secure communications. Special thanks to Whitfield Diffie, Paul Kocher, Dan Kaminsky, Adam Shostack, Scott Stender & Jesse Burns for reviewing this paper and/or code and providing their insightful comments and invaluable advice. This White Paper describes a method for sending messages with a set of security properties afforded by our core messaging protocol.Īuthors: Chris Howell, Tom Leavy & Joël Alwen
