Re: [Linphone-users] Any plan for OTR chat?

[Johan Pascal]

Hi,

if LIME is enabled on both side, yes. First ZRTP voice call will generate secret keys to be used for future chat exchange.

in linphonerc, [sip] section:

lime=1

and

lime_for_file_sharing=1

if you want to also use encryption for file transfer.

Hi,

there is no plan to implement OTR, but for linphone to linphone chat,
you can activate LIME to encrypt your chat and file transfer using
secrets previously generated using ZRTP: for it to work you must first
make a voice call to the peer, then you can chat in a secure way.

I just downloaded the latest version of Linphone and configured my SIP
accounts. LOVE IT! For me, the only feature that's missing is
encrypted OTR text messaging. I realize that not all SIP providers
support text messaging but some do and I'm wondering if Linphone has
any plans to implement it. By "text messaging" I do not mean SMS but
rather user-to-user chat between SIP clients (for example, Linphone
and Jitsi assuming both users are connected to a SIP service that
supports text messaging).

Thanks,

Just to make sure I have it straight... Are you saying that once a ZRTP
call is established, typing in chat will also be encrypted?
