Hey Brendan, it's cool to have you on board. No, I'm not questioning them too hard, but I do think it's valuable to question assumptions. The will to believe can be quite powerful. :)
Now, I'll have a chat with Ian about a simplified profile of ESessions so we can bootstrap development. :)Definitely a good idea. In my application I tried to break XEP 116 into bite-sized chunks*, but a well-defined subset (defined by someone who knows the spec) will be an excellent starting post. *: the first chunk being 4 message negotiation with a single block cipher and no public keys.
Yes, Ian mentioned something similar recently (scroll to end): http://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/security/2007-March/000040.html
PS. Hi list, I expect to be spending quite a bit of time here over the next few months.
Howdy. :) Peter -- Peter Saint-Andre XMPP Standards Foundation http://www.xmpp.org/xsf/people/stpeter.shtml
