Support for TLV record Type 8 #22

Closed mikrosk closed 4 years ago

mikrosk commented 8 years ago

As seen in https://otr.cypherpunks.ca/Protocol-v3-4.1.1.html:

OTR version 3 defines an additional symmetric key that can be derived by the communicating parties to use for application-specific purposes, such as file transfer, voice encryption, etc. When one party wishes to use the extra symmetric key, he or she creates a type 8 TLV attached to a Data Message (see above).

Is there a plan to include this useful feature in otr4j?

See https://github.com/otr4j/otr4j/issues/28 for an earlier discussion on the same subject.

This is part of an ongoing process. in OTRv4 they are still specing out how this should work. We will adopt it as such. Closing the issues as this feature is supposed to be in the standard plan for development. More details are now in /README.md.
