jabber:x:encrypted

You can use the relatively new jabber:x:encrypted namespace to implement message-level security. It allows the attachment of encrypted data Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) techniques, meaning that the data is encrypted using the message sender’s private key and decrypted by the recipient using the sender’s public key.

SEND: <message to='john@company-a.com' id='m221'>
        <body>Top Secret!</body>

The Jabber server itself does not currently provide any mechanisms for key management or exchange; the namespace is for the time being purely a marked container to hold encrypted data.
