Some improvements to yaxim messenger (Opensource)

in #utopian-io7 years ago (edited)

Components
yaxim (Yet Another XMPP Instant Messenger) is an XMPP client with a clean user interface and open source (GPLv2). Why pay for SMS if you can have unlimited messaging on your data plan?

yaxim aims at security, low overhead and keeping your server connection open. So far, it only supports a single account.

Features:

Connection with a single XMPP server (or GTalk, or Facebook Chat, or …)
Immediate reconnection on 3G/WiFi network changes (seamless with XEP-0198)
You are asked about self-signed SSL certificates
Allows automatic connection after turning on your phone
Roster management support
Persistent message history
Message Carbons (XEP-0280)

Proposal

Yaxim Messenger is missing two features which I would like to include in my suggestion. I have two features for it:
1)Two step verification :I suggest to add an security feature that is two step verification in Yaxim messenger .Yaxim has been proved to be a good messenger time by time but it is lacking a feature of security that is two step verification. I request to add it in this messenger as it is also enabled in other messengers.
2)End to end encryption : Another proposal is to add of feature of end to end encryption in Yaxim messenger which means Yaxim and third-parties can't read them.

Mockups / Examples

1)End to end encryption :
This feature is present in whatsapp messenger :U5drduBwNEQN6qknheSnjQqiQVpjsqn_1680x8400.jpeg
This can be put like this in yaxim :U5dtwqktChgfv27y7fTxxChC9Fx6w6t_1680x8400.jpeg
2)Two step verification :This feature is also present in whatsapp messenger :U5dr81gt1Le2SsEi9dy4Wd6kXfFc3Ws_1680x8400.png
This can be put like this in yaxim :U5dtwqktChgfv27y7fTxxChC9Fx6w6t_1680x8400.jpeg

Benefits

1)Two step verification :It's benefits are only about security reasons. If you want to login or anybody is trying to login your account you will have to give more data information about yourself and otp is send to your registered number or email 📧 to verify your account. You can't simply login by using email and password. Below are things but you have two choose one of them if you enable two step verification
Personal identification Number, secondary password that can include otp's that will be send to your email address or phone number. It can be also your fingerprint too.
We know that cyber criminals are active so to protect our data from losing we should enable it.
For businesses it is more important as its very sensitive case if they lose data.
2)End to end encryption It is benifit is that it is secure chatting meaning Yaxim and third-parties can't read messages that we send. It is most important as it is used for security. Sometimes we have messages that are passwords of huge amounts and have chance of hacking buttbos feature stops this all. In nutshell it is a safe and secure way to chat.
I suggested this as I also sometimes feel my data unsecured using Yaxim messenger.
