Il '''protocollo Signal''', in [[Lingua inglese|inglese]] ''Signal Protocol'', (precedentemente noto come '''protocollo TextSecure''') è un [[protocollo crittografico]] non federato che fornisce la [[crittografia end-to-end]] per i messaggi e le chiamate di [[messaggistica istantanea]]. Il protocollo è stato sviluppato da [[Open Whisper Systems]] nel 2013 ed è stato introdotto nell'app [[open source]] [[TextSecure]], che in seguito è stata rinominata [[Signal (software)|Signal]].. Diverse applicazioni con [[Software proprietario|codice proprietario]] hanno implementato questo protocollo, come [[WhatsApp]], che crittografa le conversazioni di "oltre un miliardo di persone in tutto il mondo"<ref>{{Cita web|url=https://signal.org/blog/whatsapp-complete/|titolo=WhatsApp's Signal Protocol integration is now complete|sito=Signal|accesso=5 aprile 2016}}</ref> o [[Google (azienda)|Google]] che fornisce la crittografia end-to-end per impostazione predefinita a tutte le conversazioni [[Rich Communication Services|RCS]] individuali tra gli utenti dell'app Google Messages.<ref name=":0">{{Cita web|url=https://www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2020/11/19/21574451/android-rcs-encryption-message-end-to-end-beta|titolo=Google is rolling out end-to-end encryption for RCS in Android Messages beta|sito=The Verge|accesso=28 novembre 2020|urlarchivio=https://web.archive.org/web/20201119174803/https://www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2020/11/19/21574451/android-rcs-encryption-message-end-to-end-beta}}</ref> Anche [[Facebook Messenger]] offre il protocollo per le "Conversazioni segrete", così come [[Skype]] per le sue "Conversazioni private".
Il protocollo combina l'algoritmo di [[Double Ratchet (algoritmo)|Double Ratchet]], le prechiavi (le chiavi pubbliche effimere monouso che sono state caricate in anticipo su un server centrale) e un [[handshake]] [[Scambio di chiavi Diffie-Hellman|Diffie–Hellman a tripla curva ellittica]] (3-DH),{{cita|Unger, Dechand, Bonneau, Fahl|241|2015}} e utilizza [[Curve25519]], [[Advanced Encryption Standard|AES-256]] e [[HMAC|HMAC-SHA256]] come primitive crittografiche.<ref name="Frosch 2016">{{cita|Frosch|Mainka|Bader|Bergsma|2016}}</ref>
