Description

I would like to request that the Signal protocol is implemented as an option for Nextcloud Spreed/Talk/Chat. Security is important especially nowadays and the Signal protocol is one that is open source and has been tested in the wild already. Also to complement this feature, encryption of all chat logs should be implemented.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by mapping how Spreed/Talk handles chat messages, chat-log storage, and encryption, then define the Signal protocol scope and supported key management before implementation; done means an agreed design and working encrypted protocol option without unencrypted chat logs.
