A Framework For Securing Jabber Conversations
P Lloyd · 2002
Although the value and utility of contemporary instant messaging systems, like Jabber, are now indisputable, current security features to protect message data are generally inadequate for many deployments; this is particularly true in security conscious environments like large, commercial enterprises and government agencies. These current features suffer from issues of scalability, usability, and supported features. Furthermore, there is a lack of standardization. We present a protocol to allow communities of Jabber users to apply cryptographic protection to selected conversation data.
