OMEMO is an extension to the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP, "Jabber") for multi-client end-to-end encryption developed by Andreas Straub. According to Straub, OMEMO uses the Double Ratchet Algorithm "to provide multi-end to multi-end encryption, allowing messages to be synchronized securely across multiple clients, even if some of them are offline".[1] The name "OMEMO" is a recursive acronym for "OMEMO Multi-End Message and Object Encryption". It is an open standard based on the Double Ratchet Algorithm and the Personal Eventing Protocol (PEP, XEP-0163).[2] OMEMO offers future and forward secrecy and deniability with message synchronization and offline delivery.
History
The protocol was developed and first implemented by Andreas Straub as a Google Summer of Code project in 2015. The project's goal was to implement a double-ratchet-based multi-end to multi-end encryption scheme into an Android XMPP-based instant messaging client called Conversations. It was introduced in Conversations and submitted to the XMPP Standards Foundation (XSF) as a proposed XMPP Extension Protocol (XEP) in the autumn of 2015.[1][3]
In July 2016, the ChatSecure project announced that they would implement OMEMO in the next releases.[4]
A first experimental release of a OMEMO plugin for the cross-platform XMPP client Gajim was made available on December 26, 2015.[5]
In June 2016, the non-profit computer security consultancy firm Radically Open Security published an analysis of the OMEMO protocol.[6]
Usage
- Conversations (Android)
- Cryptocat (Linux, OS X, Windows)[7]
- Gajim via plugin (BSD, Linux, Windows)[8]
