:I've now renamed the article as "Double Ratchet Algorithm" because it is mainly about the algorithm that was developed by Perrin and Marlinspike. The term "[[:double ratchet]]" now redirects here, but that page can be converted into a general article about double ratchet constructions if enough [[WP:SECONDARY|secondary sources]] are found. --[[User:Dodi 8238|Dodi 8238]] ([[User talk:Dodi 8238|talk]]) 10:11, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
::Adding algorithm is definitely better because "double ratchet" alone apparently refers to a wrench. Afaik, any different double ratchets would be OR, so you can ignore them. <small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/78.250.96.93|78.250.96.93]] ([[User talk:78.250.96.93|talk]]) 22:21, 10 April 2016 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
== What is a ratchet? ==
Line 28 ⟶ 30:
: I suspect Diffie-Hellman ratchets were invented in OtR, maybe by Ian Goldberg. Axolotl combines a natural successor to the OtR's Diffie-Hellman ratchet with a kinda weak hash iteration ratchet invented by Silent Circle. It gives you stronger forward secrecy properties than either one.
: In fact, a huge advancement here is not so much the ratchet itself as the understanding that the ratchet state should be preserved long-term in between what the users view as sessions. I suspect Silent Circle should be credited with that, as they were interested in email-like applications.
: At times, Axolotl is credited to both Moxie and Trevor. A priori, I'd suspect
== Ratcheting (cryptography) article requested ==
I added a request for a [[Ratcheting (cryptography)]] article to [[Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Mathematics#Cryptography]]. [[User:Squideshi|Squideshi]] ([[User talk:Squideshi|talk]]) 21:20, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
