I don't think it is as much a question of like as much as I think there are _ethical_ problems of creating a protocol for chat which is non-repudiable by default and promoting it to people who are trying to increase their confidentiality because it may well decrease it. I think it would be superior to compromise on authentication (e.g. make it so if a chat participant is also the server operator he could forge messages as appearing to be from other chat participants) than to subject people to non-repudiation that they likely will not understand, do not want, and would not expect. _______________________________________________ OTR-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cypherpunks.ca/mailman/listinfo/otr-dev
