Hey everyone!

It would be nice to have a way for clients to store end-to-end 
encrypted
information on the server (imagine Private XML Storage or private 
PubSub

nodes, but encrypted).

As I heard that there are efforts of specifying ways to store signed
data, I thought storage of encrypted data would come close enough to
that to be discussed in the same breath.

Since both signed and encrypted data would require some sort of
asymmetric client/account key pair, we could define that as well? It
would open the door to many very interesting use cases, one of them
being a single identity key for end-to-end encryption.

What do you think?

Hi Paul,

I'll actually be working on e2ee encryption for Pubsub (including 
signing) this year thanks to a NLnet grant.
I've only mentioned that on xsf@ and sat@ MUC rooms so far, but I'll 
soon publish a blog post with more details, and of course I'll reach 
standard@ in time to discuss that.

And yeah, this will open the doors to many, many interesting things.

I believe that's part of the same project, in fact. I just happened to be
more interested in signed data rather than encrypted, but it is, as you
say, all much the same principles.

The difficulty is always in the key distribution and authentication.
