FEP-0806: Simple client-side encryption

https://codeberg.org/silverpill/feps/src/branch/main/0806/fep-0806.md

The FEP now includes the recommended algorithm parameters.

I consider it finished but I don't plan to continue working on my implementation or publishing to the main FEP repository. It would be better to focus on group messaging with forward secrecy (MLS or similar).

@silverpill @mkljczk minutes are posted to this repo: github.com/swicg/meetings

I think the ones from today will be posted in the near future. basically, @benpate + @mayel discussed their impls + doing a demo. all of us discussed metadata leakage mitigations + alternatives for the AP actor that will be the MLS auth service (AS). plus some meta conversations about using alt spaces to GitHub like activitypub.space to host spec discussion

fwiw, I like the idea of using FEP process to dev e2ee

We have two working prototypes, and a very clear idea of the gaps between the current spec and what we'd need to do this at scale.

It's not really reflected on Github at the moment, but we're going to try to "clean our room before mom gets home" and make it represent the current state of the project.

My goal is to close those gaps, and make a clear protocol for Mastodon to implement in 2027.
