Hi, At the danger to open a can of worms, I still would like have a discussion on the following:
Given the progress Dave reported at the summit from the IETF MLS working group, I think it has become a viable option to standardize MLS on XMPP and implement MLS in stead of investing in OMEMO 2. Against: - MLS is not final / reviewed yet, so it is not stable and may still have serious issues. - MLS has recently seen a patent claim against it that is not yet decided upon. In favor: - MLS is done by / backed by the cryptographic community of the IETF, so it avoids making the mistakes that you can easily make when doing crypto yourself and any (early) MLS implementation can enjoy a lot of reviews from them. - We can expect input / contributions from the IETF community when implementing MLS - MLS has the possibility of proxy-reencryption, creating a good solution for multi-device situations and group chats. Please tell what you think.
