Are there any plans to implement encryption for private messages using a public key attached to the Fediverse account?

I understand that the metadata would not be encrypted, but that would be more than sufficient for many use cases. The decentralised nature of the Fediverse is a major advantage in the fight against censorship.

@manul70 Yup! Though I'm less concerned with nation states. Nation-states are considered an "Advanced Persistent Threat" - and if they want into your devices, then god help you. Relevant xkcd: xkcd.com/538/

But, this will be great for thwarting the next tier down: web scrapers, nosy admins, and corporate spies.

Anyone building #E2EE is a win for the Fediverse...

MASTODON building e2ee is a HUGE win for the Fediverse.

Have you seen this news?

#Mastodon just got funding to add end to end encryption into their software.

So, some time next year, you’ll be able to send truly private messages to the vast majority of the #Fediverse

Im so excited about this.

Because it’s an open spec, this opens the doors for every Fediverse app to join the party.

Yesterday, this project was a proof of concept. Today, Mastodon has turned it into a stampede.
