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. I do not know whether it is necessary
Moonchild:
Unacceptable. Nobody but the end user should be able to access the stored data. Encryption is required, and encryption should be set up in such a way that nobody aside from the end user (not even the server admin) has access to this data. 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.
