IT enthusiast. TV addict. A systems admin / tinkerer, who is also curious about development, network and security fields.
I created this account on leap day 2020, but I didn’t use it nearly this much before Twitter was purchased.

Accessing the keys from the server isn’t really a mystery or hidden. It’s technically possible for Apple to write software to query servers run by Google as well as any servers they created for themselves.
You don’t need implementation source code when you have open standards already.
WhatsApp actually used Signal’s development team to rollout the Signal protocol for them, but that app is still untrustworthy.
What kind of openness are you hoping for? Google has built their solution with a bunch of already open pieces.

There are all kinds of useful named things to learn about.
Here are the links to the documentation for these standards:

Signal Protocol - https://www.signal.org/docs/
