In mid 2016 [[https://gajim.org/][Gajim]] became the first desktop XMPP client to support the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OMEMO][OMEMO end-to-end security standard]], which is superior to the more traditional [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-the-Record_Messaging][OTR]] since it also includes multi-user chat and the ratcheting mechanism pioneered by Open Whisper Systems.

If you wish to use OpenPGP to encrypt your messages then go to *Edit/Accounts*, select your account and then the *Personal Information* tab. You can then choose your GPG key. When initiating a chat you can select the *Advanced* button and then select *Toggle OpenPGP Encryption*. OpenPGP is not as secure as OMEMO, but does allow you to use XMPP in a similar style to email in that the recipient of the message does not necessarily need to be online at the same time that you send it.

|
||||
* Using with Profanity
|
||||
The [[https://profanity.im][Profanity]] shell based user interface and is perhaps the simplest way to use XMPP from a laptop. It's also a good way to ensure that your OTR keys are the same even when logging in from different laptops or devices, and it also means that if those devices later become compomised then there are no locally stored OTR keys to be found.

|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
|
||||
ssh username@domain -p 2222
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
|
||||
Then select XMPP. Generate an [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-the-Record_Messaging][OTR]] key with:
|
||||
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
|
||||
/otr gen
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
|
||||
Then to start a conversation using OTR:
|
||||
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
|
||||
/otr start otherusername@otheruserdomain
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
|
||||
or if you're already in an insecure chat with someone just use:
|
||||
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
|
||||
/otr start
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
|
||||
Set a security question and answer:
|
||||
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
|
||||
/otr question "What is the name of your best friends rabbit?" fiffi
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
|
||||
On the other side the user can enter:
|
||||
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
|
||||
/otr answer fiffi
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
|
||||
For the most paranoid you can also obtain your fingerprint:
|
||||
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
|
||||
/otr myfp
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
|
||||
and quote that. If they quote theirs back you can check it with:
|
||||
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
|
||||
/otr theirfp
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
|
||||
If the fingerprints match then you can be pretty confident that unless you have been socially engineered via the question and answer you probably are talking to who you think you are, and that it will be difficult for mass surveillance systems to know the content of the conversation. For more details see [[https://www.profanity.im/otr.html][this guide]]
|
||||
|
||||
When accessed via the user control panel the client is automatically routed through Tor and so if you are also using OTR then this provides protection for both message content and metadata.

Tor Messenger is a messaging client which supports XMPP, and its onion routing enables you to protect the metadata of chat interactions to some extent by making it difficult for an adversary to know which server is talking to which. You can download Tor Messenger from <a href="https://torproject.org">torproject.org</a> and the setup is pretty simple.
