Description Maciej (Matthew) Piechotka 2008-12-17 00:43:07 UTC 
It would be nice if one could encrypt the data using GPG.

Please note that it is not a duplicate of bug #545357.
Comment 1 Xavier Claessens 2008-12-17 09:02:49 UTC 
You mean bug #545347? What are you speaking about if it is not a dup? Could you detail a bit more please?
Comment 2 Maciej (Matthew) Piechotka 2008-12-17 12:49:20 UTC 
1. Yes. Sorry - a type
2. bug #545347 is about encryption using OTR not gpg keys. I'm not sure in which level gpg enc. should be implemented (empathy or telepathy).
Comment 3 Maciej (Matthew) Piechotka 2008-12-19 19:54:50 UTC 
Read in GNOME RoadMap:
Seahorse Encryption Keys Manager

    * Possibly a Pidgin/Telepathy encryption plugin
    * Digitally signed documents in Evince 

It seems that this bug is already filled. But I couldn't find the original.
Comment 4 Xavier Claessens 2008-12-19 22:04:04 UTC 
That will need support from the telepathy spec. A spec for end to end encryption is planned, but that's not a priority atm I think. However, feel free to propose one.
Comment 5 Guillaume Desmottes 2009-08-28 12:32:30 UTC 
GPG encryption should be done at the XMPP level (XEP-0027). Closing this bug as NOTGNOME as it should eventually be part of telepathy-gabble, not Empathy.
