I do not understand why the XEP is locked to OMEMO and also we roll our own identity scheme. What we can do instead is use a standard that is well documented and already exists for this Decentralized Identifiers https://www.w3.org/TR/did-core/ this would give us: - decoupling of the verification of identity from any centralized entity and any encryption scheme I understand that it supposedly strives to not depend on servers, but such a thing is not possible yet in xmpp due to DNS reliance. DIDs on the other hand can support multiple verification methods. - our own xmpp method to resolve things to - a standardized way to represent this and do discovery, not reinvent our own - multiple ways of authentication besides just xmpp pubsub things MSavoritias On 6/2/26 12:39, Daniel Gultsch wrote:
The XMPP Extensions Editor has received a proposal for a new XEP.
Title: XMPP Decentralized ID (XID) Abstract: XMPP Decentralized ID (XID) is a DNS independent XMPP entity identifier. This specification describes how to generate, use, and handle them.

The Council will decide in the next two weeks whether to accept this proposal as an official XEP. _______________________________________________ Standards mailing list -- standards@xmpp.org To unsubscribe send an email to standards-leave@xmpp.org
