Could someone with more insight into the code please clarify what the 
status-quo is?
I've seen in XmppManager that conf.setSelfSignedCertificateEnabled is not set, 
so from the smack documentation I'm guessing this is off. However all the 
conf.setVerify* options default to off, so - is every certificate accepted, as 
long as it is not self-signed?
If so, would you accept a patch that simply adds a checkbox to the SSL 
configuration "Verify certificate", which seems to be trivial to implement and 
increases security by a lot for those with a valid cert?

Thanks.

It is very likely that the smack conf option alone is not enough. Smack needs 
to be aware of Android's built-in TrustManager, which is IIRC not available on 
every supported Android API level.

OTOH I know that it is possible to use Android's Cert store. There are open 
source Android XMPP clients out there that use Smack and do so. I think yaxim 
is one of them.

tl;dr: I don't think that the conf setting alone is enough, the patch will 
likely become bigger. But feel free to experiment, test and propose a patch. I 
sure will have a look.
