No Yes We do not federate, but localized transports enforce mandatory TLS/SSL. We do not federate, but localized MUC is supported. Service was built to get localized communication (student to student, student to advisor, faculty to admin assistant) off the commercial, external IM networks. We disabled registration, locked down external transports, encrypted all the channels, and let it loose. Service is still in its infancy; adoption has been slow. We currently retain/log little, and want to retain/log even less (blessed by our Information Security and Legal Affairs offices). About the UT-ECE IM service.
