What it does

Implementing End To End Encryption For Messaging is an agent skill from mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills. Implements a simplified Signal Protocol-style end-to-end encryption scheme for messaging, covering key exchange, forward secrecy, and the core cryptographic components so no server or intermediary can decrypt messages. Use when designing or building E2EE messaging, or evaluating forward-secrecy and key-management tradeoffs for a messaging system.

Its SKILL.md is about 840 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/template.md`, `references/api-reference.md` and `references/standards.md`).

It sits in Security, covering Cryptography and End-to-end testing. The repository describes itself as: 817 structured cybersecurity skills for AI agents · Mapped to 6 frameworks: MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF 2.0, MITRE ATLAS, D3FEND, NIST AI RMF & MITRE F3 (Fight Fraud) · agentskills.io…. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Building E2EE messaging
  • Evaluating forward-secrecy and key-management tradeoffs for a messaging system

Example prompts

  • “Use the implementing-end-to-end-encryption-for-messaging skill to implement a simplified Signal Protocol-style end-to-end encryption scheme for…”
  • “/implementing-end-to-end-encryption-for-messaging”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 54a7988. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Implementing End To End Encryption For Messaging loads about 843 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 99 tokens; SKILL.md has 327 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~99
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~843
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Implementing End-to-End Encryption for Messaging

Overview

End-to-end encryption (E2EE) ensures that only the communicating parties can read messages, with no intermediary (including the server) able to decrypt them. This skill implements a simplified version of the Signal Protocol's Double Ratchet algorithm, using X25519 for key exchange, HKDF for key derivation, and AES-256-GCM for message encryption.

When to Use

  • When deploying or configuring implementing end to end encryption for messaging capabilities in your environment
  • When establishing security controls aligned to compliance requirements
  • When building or improving security architecture for this domain
  • When conducting security assessments that require this implementation

Prerequisites

  • Familiarity with cryptography concepts and tools
  • Access to a test or lab environment for safe execution
  • Python 3.8+ with required dependencies installed
  • Appropriate authorization for any testing activities

Objectives

  • Implement X25519 Diffie-Hellman key exchange for session establishment
  • Build the Double Ratchet key management algorithm
  • Encrypt and decrypt messages with per-message keys
  • Implement forward secrecy (compromise of current key does not reveal past messages)
  • Handle out-of-order message delivery
  • Implement key agreement using X3DH (Extended Triple Diffie-Hellman)

Key Concepts

Sending ChainPer-message encryption keysHMAC-SHA256 chain
Receiving ChainPer-message decryption keysHMAC-SHA256 chain
Root ChainDerives new chain keys on DH ratchetHKDF
Forward Secrecy

Each message uses a unique encryption key derived from a ratcheting chain. After a key is used, it is deleted, ensuring that compromise of the current state does not reveal previously sent/received messages.

Security Considerations

  • Delete message keys immediately after decryption
  • Implement message ordering and replay protection
  • Use authenticated encryption (AES-GCM) for all messages
  • Protect identity keys with device-level security
  • Verify identity keys out-of-band (safety numbers)

Validation Criteria

  • X25519 key exchange produces shared secret
  • Messages encrypt and decrypt correctly between two parties
  • Different messages produce different ciphertexts
  • Forward secrecy: old keys cannot decrypt new messages
  • Out-of-order messages can be decrypted
  • Tampered messages are rejected by authentication
