  • •Benchmarked performance with parallel path-secret encryption for large groups.
  • •Thread-safe Client API with pluggable storage backends.
Weaknesses
  • •MLS adoption remains limited—most apps still use Signal Protocol or custom crypto.
  • •No Windows-specific testing mentioned in the benchmarks.
