Quoting Eric Rescorla <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Most chat protocols (and Jabber in particular) are server-oriented
protocols. So, the SSL certificate in question isn't that of your
buddy but rather of your Jabber server.
Think "end-to-end".. Even jabber has a way to encrypt messages
end-to-end using
user certificates (or PGP).
