Unlinkability¶
Short definition¶
Make it difficult to link two identities, relationships or activities.
Concrete example¶
Alice uses separate invitations but copies the same alias and avatar: separation fails.
What it protects¶
Reduces some joins between accounts or contacts.
What it does not protect¶
Not voluntarily shared clues, Discord timing or device traces.
Why it matters¶
A stable identifier can link contexts even without a civil name.
Example messenger behaviour¶
SimpleX requires no global ID; the initial invitation from Discord remains a trace.
Technical details
Separate account identifiers, relationship identifiers and network observations.
