Goal

This Sprint is focussed on creating the next iteration of the OMEMO XEP.

Detailed TODO

  • 12-byte IVs
  • Restructure PEP usage to use one device node with multiple items (One item for each device); Maintain index node? (so we have something to +notify on)
  • Describe usage of OMEMO in MUCs (MUST be non-anonymous, RECOMMENDED to be members-only, …)
  • PEP access model SHOULD (or RECOMMENDED) to be open (explain security consequences of that.)
  • Link device IDs to the JID in stanzas to avoid the struggles implied by possible ID clashes
  • Specify user-defined labels for devices/OMEMO identities to simplify key management
  • Maybe a different way to generate device IDs that is guaranteed to create non-clashing IDs
  • Describe in more detail how devices get activated inactivated (message from a device, or PEP event, what ever comes last)
  • Describe how to opt-out of OMEMO again.
  • Ratchet Length Counter to determine stale devices. This includes automatic sending of empty messages (ping messages) to forward the ratchet.
  • Describe optional server please give me one pre-key+idenity key and then remove the pre key protocol
  • Shorter element names for elements that are often repeated
  • Complete session by sending key transport message upon receiving a prekey message.
  • Stop using protobuf and build XML instead? (problem: need unique serialization method)
  • Describe behaviour of recovering from broken session.
  • Clear up the one-time pre key thing
  • SCE
  • Talk about possible interactions with MattJ's ideas, including
    • a mechanism to transfer data from one device to another during setup (e.g. using a QR-Code)
    • a list of all devices a JID has

Responsibilities

Who does what. TBD

Process

Since multiple people are going to work on multiple parts of the XEP simultaneously we probably need a git and commit early and often. Other and better ideas welcome.

Idea by Syndace: I'm hosting a ShareLaTeX instance, which allows you to collaboratively work on the same LaTeX document at the same time, including a history of changes etc. We could write the XEP there and later port it into the required XML structure. As an alternative I also host a HackMD instance, which is the same thing but for Markdown documents.
