Support for Security Labels on LW.Org IM

pubsub.lightwitch.org / lw-org • 7 October 2018 edit

With the introduction of XEP-0258 support in Metronome, I also deployed it on lightwitch.org XMPP service. While at a first look this may look like a Bussness / Military only feature, but with a simplier approach at the Access Control Decision Function/Policy Enforcement related to this extension it's also possible to implement content filtering and restriction or just fancy tagging of messages.

An usage example, is restricting routing only to certain occupants in a MUC based on their affiliation. So you could for instance send a message to the room which only members could see etc.

You can get a Comprehensive list of changes introduced in Metronome v3.11 here

Coming in effect of GDPR

pubsub.lightwitch.org / lw-org • 26 May 2018

Yesterday the General Data Protection Regulation officially came in effect, this means that as public service we had to take some countermeasures to became compliant as best as we could.

As not so little data that is dealt with on XMPP is PII and also that because of its decentralised nature basically the said data has to be treated by multiple entities and not just us. We have been forced to deploy a module that enforces some limits on server to server communication if the user doesn't give consent to the treatment of his data.

GDPR in its current form is not adapt and very biased against environments like XMPP but we will still do our best to oblige and be compliant.
