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 nice! there is a workgroup meeting tomorrow for activitypub-e2ee, are you planning to be there?

Online meetings are tedious, especially as the group gets larger. But everyone I've interacted with in the E2EE group (and a few others) has had only the best intentions for the Fediverse.

So, I hope you won't avoid them just because they're "corporate".

Tedious? Well, you've got a point there.

It if would help, I'm happy to discuss all of the plans and discussions out here. That's actually how elle ended up attending this morning's meeting :)

@silverpill @benpate yeah, fwiw they are the main standards body, though. i know you know that, just saying that there is value in trying to work together with them, since w/e protocol they land on will likely be adopted by Mastodon, and thus a very significant portion of the fediverse.

not saying an independent alternative impl is valueless, i'm serious about working on it, only that we're still at a stage in fedi-e2ee dev to meaningfully influence the protocol in a positive direction

@elle It's not the main standards body, it didn't even exist before 2022-23 https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swicg/

At that time, we already had FEP process and 12 years of fediverse development behind us.

Do you see many fedi developers in these github working groups? I don't. And there is a good reason for that.

@silverpill that's interesting information I wasn't privvy to, thanks for changing that.

no, I don't see many fedi devs there, outside of Embassy + Bonfire folks. I'm also not a fan of the use of GitHub, and brought up moving to an alternative git forge. we reached a middle-ground of linking to discussions on activitypub.space, but I still don't like the continued presence of FOSS on a platform like GitHub that is actively hostile to its existence.
