About Matrix Matrix is an open protocol for decentralised, secure communications.
Matrix Manifesto We believe:
People should have full control over their own communication. People should not be locked into centralised communication silos, but instead be free to pick who they choose to host their communication without limiting who they can reach. The ability to converse securely and privately is a basic human right. Communication should be available to everyone as a free and open, unencumbered, standard and global network.
OMEMO, existing good clients. It’s just more mature and solves all the same problems.
how and why is OMEMO better? and you cant verify all of a users sessions at once that they have verified them selves via cross signing
And it doesn’t solve all the same problems, what if the server the muc was created on goes down? Matrix doesn’t have that issue
Well, it’s convenient. I can’t speak about anything else, not being a cryptographer.
I personally would just use PGP though.
so you would use a encryption where if your key is leaked to someone they can read every single message you’ve sent?
For not too important things maybe. But OK, OTR is better for IM.
