Good day to one and all! I have been contemplating the idea of utilizing PubSub as a platform to synchronize browser bookmarks, history and tabs. See article "XMPP For Browsers" at The XMPP Newsletter of November 2024.
I have received crucial criticism by the Pale Moon developers due to neglegence of encryption. It is not in my intention to neglegence encryption, yet I do not intend to add encryption before a working prototype. Schimon: > > There is no storage encryption yet.

Storing everything in plaintext in an XMPP > service instance is ridiculous. That said, the owner of the server must not have any access to the data. However, I am thinking of encrypting the data, yet I do not how to implement such system which will be possible to decrypt only by the owner of the data, and I also do not know how to handle a situation in which an encryption key was lost.
