I like to request to add ESession-Support to most used Jabber-Clients as an alternative to OpenPGP and OTR.

Seems that XEP-0116 (Encrypted Session Negotiation) has been Deferred because of inactivity.

See http://jabberforum.org/showthread.php?t=192

Once implemented in KDE, it will be included in Kubuntu once the KDE version the feature is implemented in reaches Kubuntu.

Thanks!
