Hi I am currently working on OTR support for KDE Telepathy. There are some features we would like to have: - otr policy settings - a way to generate a new private key for account - possibility to manage known fingerprints (trust/distrust) - two additional ways of peer authentication (shared secret and question-answer)
Realization of the first three points would require adding a new interface to gabble. I imagine it as an extension of connection interface providing settings individually for every account. Would using gdbus codegen just like in case of the currently implemented otr channel be acceptable here? I suppose that adding these features would mean some major changes in the current implementation which is completely closed in the channel interface. There are also things that need to be fixed as stated above: > Still to do: > > * testing (in particular, send "<" and "<a message that resembles HTML>" > in both directions between Empathy and Pidgin, and check that neither is > misinterpreted) > > * review from someone who understands libotr > > * string-only handling of fingerprints (emit strings to D-Bus, > parse hex -> binary when asked to trust a fingerprint from D-Bus) I understand that they have to be done first before introducing new changes? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296867 Title: empathy needs to support OTR encryption To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/empathy/+bug/296867/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
