Post #836277

There's been a lot of discussions in the Fluxer Developers community on what federation and E2EE should be like. I recently suggested looking at using Chatmail from @delta@chaos.social for the E2EE implementation for the following reasons: Designed for federated networksStandards-based (it's literally just well-done encrypted email)Has a practical implementation Has a solidified spec AuditedAlready aligned with Fluxer's feature roadmap (such as webxdc support)Simple client implementation story (use the core Chatmail lib)Can use battle-tested Trust & Safety tooling made for email But I do wonder a bit on whether this would be a good idea, or rather integrating Delta Chat/Chatmail alongside another chat protocol. It's been done with the Signal Protocol before, which has been suggested in the E2EE channel too but I'm not aware of any examples of the same for Chatmail.
