Mellium
Add OMEMO support to XMPP library
Mellium is an XMPP library that helps other projects safely interoperate using the most widely used, federated, real-time communication protocol in use today. Unfortunately, it does not currently provide a mechanism to enable projects using it to communicate in an end-to-end encrypted manner, meaning those projects must do the hard (and potentially dangerous) work of implementing encryption themselves. This project aims to create an easy to use implementation of the OMEMO encryption standard (XEP-0384: OMEMO Encryption) that is compatible with popular instant messaging clients. This will encourage projects depending on Mellium to implement strong privacy protections by lowering the barrier to entry for end-to-end encryption.
