Re: End-to-End Encryption Milestone

I think what's really needed is some kind of overview/comparison document
about that current status. While the current requirements document is a
start in listing some potential requirements, modern IM use cases are a bit
more complex, w.r.t. multi-device and the mobile application scenarios.

So basically a document that compares existing proposals, like OTR, PGP,
XTLS and maybe even some more general e2e IM security solutions like the
TextSecure protocol or multi-party OTR, and analyze those regarding their
security, support for PubSub/MUC, support for offline messages, support for
multi-device usage, and possibly even more.

Indeed. I don't know if the IETF is the right place for a status quo
comparison document or if it'd be more attractive within the XSF with less
process. I for one would gladly review and try to contribute as much as
possible to such document. Reviewing current proposals and exposing their
advantages and shortcomings, especially regarding multi-resource and
offline usage, would be a great way to start looking for possible solutions
for XMPP.

Cheers,
Tobias
