Session allows for truly decentralized, end to end, and private encrypted chats. Session is built to handle both online and fully Asynchronous offline messages. Loki messenger implements the Signal protocol for message encryption. Our Client interface is a fork of [Signal Messenger](https://signal.org/). All communication that passes through Loki messenger is routed through [Lokinet](https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network).

## Summary
Loki messenger integrates directly with Loki [Service Nodes](https://lokidocs.com/ServiceNodes/SNOverview/), which are a set of distributed, decentralized and Sybil resistant nodes. Service Nodes act as both federated servers which store messages offline, and a set of nodes which allow for onion routing functionality obfuscating users IP Addresses. For a full understanding of how Loki messenger works, read the [Loki whitepaper](https://loki.network/whitepaper).
