Comment (by doctorlard):
Seems to be this can be developed using:
- the Whisper Systems [https://github.com/WhisperSystems/libaxolotl-c
libaxolotl-c] library; note that it only requires OpenSSL (BSD-licensed)
for its unit tests, and
- support in the client for XEP-0163 (Personal Eventing Protocol), which
is already in Pidgin according to [wiki:SupportedXEPs the wiki].
The main advantage of OMEMO over OTR is that it works in multi-user chats,
and between multiple devices/clients when combined with support for
XEP-0280 Message Carbons [#15508] and XEP-0313 Message Archive Management
[#15653]. [http://conversations.im/#xmpp Conversations] implements this on
Android, and I have to say it works beautifully well with my devices and a
Prosody 0.9.x server with pep, mam and carbons modules enabled.
I wish I had more time, I'd give this a crack myself! Good to see progress
being made on some of these XEP tickets - especially the
[https://hg.pidgin.im/soc/2015/koosha/main/rev/9c71168e8a68 recent GSoC
work] on XEP-0280 Carbons support, well done Koosha :)
