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'>

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.
