Can anymany tell me how I'm "supposed" to use end-to-end encryption with XMPP?
As far as I can tell there are three totally different ways to do E2EE:
a)OTR : "[https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0364.html](Not intended to be a current standard), or technical specification, as better (albeit, newer and less well tested) methods of end-to-end encryption exist for XMPP. "
b)OpenPGP: There are at least two different XEPs about it. XEP-0027 is obsolete, while XEP-0373 is "experimental" but hasn't been updated in almost three years.
c)OMEMO: "Experimental" and hasn't been updated in over two years.
Is there a way to do E2EE in XMPP which is neither deprecated nor experimental? What's the "Current stable" way to do it?
I see a lot of posts here about why the other social media platforms are terrible & #Mastodon is the one to rule them all*.
Personally, Mastodon is my favorite & I prefer the #fediverse with decentralized servers & open source standards.
But I also don’t mind coexisting with the others. Rather, I think it’s a good thing. All of us should settle in where we feel comfortable & find community.
Overstatement, but a Tolkien reference always seems appropriate.
Weird #question time: what is a webchat (either #IRC or #XMPP) client that works with #OTR or #OMEMO encryption?
I'm looking for something that I can access from my work computer (where pretty much all I use is the browser), and ideally would have a way to use my own key for the encryption (instead of autogenerating one every time I log in).
