Questions about libsignal for js about libsignal-protocol-javascript HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi @liliakai ,

       I am trying to use this lib , I to have a question similar to question no.2 above. 

What is the keyId?
Is it unique identifier of the user whose "public key types" (Identity Key Pair, Signed Key pair, One-time key pair) are supposed to be stored?

Thanks.

It's very unclear to me also. What are preKey and how is should be handled? There's almost no information available.

@jonathanve @cnanju did have the same problem here (not with javascript, but with iOS - documentation is on all platforms unclear about that). I found out that keyId is just a random generated id, nothing more. This id is not generated by the framework. You must generate an id by yourself.

If you want to be super clear about how to generate the id, just load one of the open source projects (iOS, Java or Desktop) and search for the place where generateSignedPreKey is invoked.
