I won't be happy until one can easily make an independent implementation of this XEP. For me, this means it needs to be built on generally available crypto primitives. Concretely, this means 1 of 2 possibilities (as stated earlier): - Keep the current XEP (i.e. Olm as it is today). It is trivial to implement independently today, with several alternatives of crypto libraries. It just needs to be specified properly (split identity keys). - We change the XEP to use XEdDsa, and someone gets an implementation into an (peer reviewed and preferably established) crypto library, *independent* of libolm. The second path is more work, uncertain, and will take time. But if this is a price we want to make to keep the current (4?) OMEMO clients happy, then so be it. Remko
