+| Library | Maintained by | WASM/native | Audit | Bundle size (gzipped) |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| **@signalapp/libsignal-client** | Signal Foundation | WASM + Node native | ✅ Audited by Cure53 (2016, 2019, 2022) | ~1.2 MB raw / ~380 KB gzip |
+| libsignal-protocol-javascript | Open Whisper Systems (archived) | Pure JS | ❌ Unmaintained (last commit 2021) | ~80 KB |
+| @privacyresearch/libsignal-protocol-typescript | Community | Pure JS | ❌ No independent audit | ~120 KB |
+
+### Why `@signalapp/libsignal-client`
+
+1. **Actively maintained** by the Signal Foundation — the same team that maintains the Signal Messenger clients.
+2. **Independently audited** by Cure53:
+ - [2016 audit](https://cure53.de/pentest-report_signal-android.pdf) (Android / OWS)
+ - [2019 audit](https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/blob/main/docs/Cure53%20Security%20Audit.pdf) (Desktop)
+ - [2022 audit](https://community.signalusers.org/t/security-audit-of-the-signal-protocol/29973) (Protocol layer)
+3. **Full Double-Ratchet + X3DH** — not a partial implementation.
+4. **WASM build** — runs in modern browsers; Node native build for server-side tests.
+5. **TypeScript types** — ships first-class `.d.ts`.
+
+### Risks & mitigations
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|---|---|
+| WASM ~380 KB gzip adds to initial bundle | Loaded via dynamic import in `LibsignalSessionCrypto` — deferred until first send |
+| SSR incompatibility (Next.js) | Dynamic import with `'use client'` boundary; WASM init skipped on server |
+| Session state persistence (IndexedDB) | Phase-2 task — `InMemorySignalProtocolStore` stub ships now; IndexedDB store is next |

+
+### Phase-1 (current — default)
+
+- `Phase1SessionCrypto` in `session.ts`
+- Sealed-box: ECDH ephemeral key + HKDF + AES-256-GCM
+- No forward secrecy (each message independent)
+- No ratchet — fresh ephemeral key per message
+
+### Phase-2 (Signal — next)
+
+- `LibsignalSessionCrypto` in `session.ts`
+- Full Signal Double-Ratchet: X3DH key agreement + ratcheting
+- Forward secrecy + break-in recovery
+- Requires prekey bundle exchange (signedPreKey + oneTimePreKey)

+## Activation checklist
+
+```bash
+# 1. Install the library
+cd apps/web
+npm install @signalapp/libsignal-client
+
+# 2. Implement signalClient.ts (fill in the stub functions)
+# Follow @signalapp/libsignal-client README for SessionCipher usage.
+
+# 3. Activate in session.ts:
+# Change: export const defaultSession = new Phase1SessionCrypto()
+# To: export const defaultSession = new LibsignalSessionCrypto()
+
+# 4. Implement IndexedDB-backed SignalProtocolStore
+# (replaces in-memory store in signalClient.ts)
+```

+
+## Bundle-size impact
+
+| Asset | Size (gzip est.) | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `@signalapp/libsignal-client` WASM | ~380 KB | Loaded lazily on first message send |
+| Phase-1 crypto.ts | ~4 KB | Always loaded |
+| session.ts + signalClient.ts | ~3 KB | Always loaded (stubs only until Phase-2) |
+
+The WASM chunk is isolated behind a dynamic `import()` call in
+`LibsignalSessionCrypto.encryptToDevice`. It will not appear in the initial
+page load waterfall.
