Dear Yusuke,

There is a *long* history of discussion and work on end-to-end 
encryption approaches. You might read the following:

http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-xmpp-e2e-requirements-01.txt

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-saintandre-strint-workshop-xmpp-02#section-4

https://stpeter.im/journal/1241.html

It's quite a sad story, really.

Peter
