    first comment to provide a decent counterpoint.

    Looks like signal and email use both. but it still does not answer

    AI said:

    The server knows who initiated the communication (they handed over their lockbox first), but not the direction of individual messages within a conversation.

      ‘Sealed sender’ seems to avoid this by not actually requiring the client to authenticate to the server at all, and relying on the recipient to validate that it’s signed by the sender they expect from the encrypted data in the envelope. As I mentioned in another reply, I’m just going on what they’ve published on the system, so either I could be completely wrong, or they could be being misleading, but it does look like they’ve tried to address this issue.
