Dear all,In the March IETF 89 meeting in London, there were renewed discussions around end-to-end encryption in XMPP.
Here is the recording of the session: http://recordings.conf.meetecho.com/Recordings/watch.jsp?recording=IETF89_XMPP&chapter=part_5There was basic agreement that OTR is a horrible fit for XMPP since it doesn't provide full stanza encryption. The very reasons for the benefits of OTR (its ability to be protocol-agnostic) are the reasons for its shortfalls too.
However, there is no clear alternative. The closest is draft-miller-xmpp-e2e. The one clear verdict was that more contributors are required.
The discussions are happening at: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/xmpp http://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standardsIf anyone has the time to make contributions, please do jump in (and spread the word).
