What Hacker News says
2 sourcesFor those interested in ART, there is an IETF working group attempting to standardise it as the "Messaging Layer Security" protocol. Their website [1] has a draft protocol document [2] which explains the ART scheme from a concrete engineering perspective, which I find easier to follow than the original ART paper.
