olm?

[r3k2]

Hello looking for matrix go libs to create a bot but needs to support OLM etc since all channels are encrypted now a days.(most of them at least in our homeserver) does go-neb supports accepting keys by default or importing manually ? will it ever support it?

Thanks.

Would REALLY like to see this as well. All bots should really be upgraded to support encrypted rooms by default.

co-incide with #157

Depending on your security needs this can break the encryption as the person running the bot has access to encryption keys to all your secret messages

@t3chguy it should be an option because if for example I want to create a bot for only our channel not anyone else, then the person running the bot, already has all the keys of people in that channel... we run our own homeserver and we will run our own bot, wont be public for others to use..

In my case, we are running everything on a homeserver, and self host all bots we use, so the bot public user won't be used in our case.

Of course, it works for some, it was just a disclaimer for those coming across this issue who do may not understand what this means in terms of security

Any news on this?

I think the recommendation nowadays is to use https://github.com/matrix-org/pantalaimon.

There will likely be Go support (using olm with cgo) for E2EE at some point in the future, especially as Dendrite progresses. The community has already made some progress with https://godoc.org/github.com/Dhole/go-olm but it lacks gomatrix support which go-neb relies on.

i notice you guys switched to mautrix #322 and mautrix supports e2ee I am using gomuks that is based on it as well and we have e2ee, does this mean I can run this bot now with out the slow pantalaimon bridge and remove all useless python finally from my "clean" server? thanks

Soon, we have @nikofil working on E2E currently.
