Add encryption to the direct message feature

[n8fr8]

use OTR4J or TextSecurev2 code/protocol

[Asherehsa]

It would be awesome to use the TextSecurev2 Identity keys (aka baseKey) to prove your identity regardless of device.

[n8fr8]

yeah, linking into another known key might be a good idea, be it chatsecure, textsecure or pgp.

also looking into using Minilock for this.

FYI, currently direct messages are encrypted at the bluetooth RFComm level if you have paired with the device ahead of time.

Keep in mind Bluetooth LE/Smart encryption has been cracked: https://github.com/mikeryan/crackle/

[n8fr8]

Yes, we will use libsodium, minilock, axiotl/textsecurev2 or some other message layer encryption.

[TameOfGroans]

yes, OTR would be awesome.

Perhaps a bridge with Zeroconf will be possible to Xmpp Texting possibly through the MAXS Project.
