Encrypted Spaces: A Privacy-First Framework for Collaborative Apps
Researchers behind Signal unveiled Encrypted Spaces, an open-source framework and prototype designed to let developers build end-to-end encrypted, multi-user collaboration apps (Slack/Docs-like) by syncing encrypted data via a server-stored change log and using zero-knowledge proofs to verify state without revealing content. The goal is a standardized, privacy-first foundation that supports invites, revocation, notes, and files, while remaining a research prototype rather than a production-ready product.
