Because the
joiner_secret
is encrypted to theinit_key
of joiners, if the joiners don't delete theirinit_key
after processing a Welcome, this could undermine forward-secrecy. I noticed that the document don't give any precise recommendations about that.There are some hints scattered in the document, but they give recommendations to participants adding other participants, not to participants being added:
mls-architecture/draft-ietf-mls-architecture.md
Lines 670 to 672 in b091b3a
This PR adds a recommendation for that. I am not sure on how to proceed, I have made an attempt but it might belong to another section!
