## 0. Abstract

This document introduces a new protocol designed for instant messaging (IM) and an architecture for developing decentralized IM applications. The software provides accounts(user identity recognition) and communications between accounts safely by end-to-end encryption.

It includes just TWO extremely simple parts:

1. User Identify

2. Messaging

- [English](TechnicalWhitePaper.md)

- [Chinese](zh-CN/TechnicalWhitePaper.md)

## 1. User Identify

### 1.0. Meta

See [mkm.Meta](MingKeMing-Identity.md#meta) for details.

### 1.1. ID

See [mkm.ID](MingKeMing-Identity.md#id) for details.

### 1.2. Public Key

A **public key** (PK) was binded to an ID by the [Meta Algorithm](MingKeMing-Identity.md#id-address).

### 1.3. Entity (Account/Group)

**Entity** is the sender/receiver in the network communication.

An entity can be an account or a group. It has an **ID**, a **name**, and a **number** for searching.

An **account** will have a **public key**.

A **group** will have **founder**, **owner** and **members**.

```javascript

// create account

user = new Account(accountID, accountPK);

// create group

group = new Group(groupID, founderID);

```

## 2. Messaging

### 2.0. Envelope

See [dkd.Envelope](DaoKeDao-Message.md#envelope) for details.

### 2.1. Content

See [dkd.Content](DaoKeDao-Message.md#content) for details.

### 2.2. Instant Message

See [dkd.InstantMessage](DaoKeDao-Message.md#instant-message) for details.

### 2.3. Reliable Message

See [dkd.ReliableMessage](DaoKeDao-Message.md#reliable-message) for details.
