It is missing in 1.0 :/

[v-a]

Hi, is this one still in the TODO list ?

[valeriansaliou]

Nope it's not anymore

Hello, why is it not in the TODO list anymore ? I think it was a great improvement for jappix. Is there an alternative technology you want to use to achieve P2P cryptography ?

I agree with dolanor; OTR would be very useful indeed. There's a project called Converse.JS which provides an already functional example of OTR in browser, implemented in JavaScript.

I'm missing OTR, too. Please add that feature to the web chat.

Will jappix employ mpOTR for MUC? Xmpp Texting without end2end encryption is of little value.

I agree with Off-the-record (OTR) encrypted messaging in jappix, at least in private single-user conversations, implementation wich exist for binary clients, and is well known.
mpOTR for MUC or OTR for multi-user chats doesn't exist neither for regular clients, and is now feauture cryptocat still trying to implement in its client.
XEP-0188: Cryptographic Design of Encrypted Sessions ..conceptual model for the approach specified in this document was inspired by "off-the-record" (OTR) communication..
recently has been implementented in converse.js and jsxc trough otr.js.
What I like of jappix first is its lightness, especially in the mini version, and the painless configuration of sasl anoymous login and server generated JID without a password, both other two competitors seems can't manage this very well, and the possibilty to query another user immediatly at login. Don't even have to clic, on page load conversation start.
The opporunity to start an encrypted end to end conversation jappix network servers, that often offers sasl-anonymous well configurated on server side, should be a very useful and appreciated thing indeed with this light client.
Thank You for you effort.
