Hey everyone,

The Guardian Project is looking both for end-user feedback, as well, as
technical review of our OTR implementation for Gibberbot, an open-source
XMPP messaging app for Android which aims to be as secure as possible by
default.

We are using the OTR4J project on Android:
http://code.google.com/p/otr4j/

You can find the custom bits of our implementation here:
https://github.com/guardianproject/Gibberbot/tree/master/src/info/guardianproject/otr

We've got some fun twists on things including support for QRCode
scanning as way to quickly verify keys in person (screenshots here:
https://guardianproject.info/apps/gibber/)

Currently, the keys and verified fingerprints are stored on the file
system via a Java Properties class. With Android, each app has its own
internal storage space protected by user permissions, and this gives us
some amount of security there. However, we are moving the entire app to
sit on top of a symmetric key encrypted SQLite database shortly.

Best,
 Nathan

****
Here's a short list of what has been fixed:

- - Wizard UI should now work better on landscape mode and smaller
screens.... no more hidden buttons!

- - Included an updated build of the ASmack XMPP library that powers the
chat protocol bit of our app. This has the latest patches from the core
Smack library.

- - Improved TLS certification verification process and properly tied into
Settings menu; added support for Android BKS keystore and cacerts

- - Added support for controlling whether SRV DNS record lookup is done or
not (it is better NOT too for privacy reasons, especially when running
over Tor)

- - Began the localization process into all supported Android SDK
languages (starting automated, will bring humans in later to edit)

- - Turned off inappropriate autocomplete/suggest where possible

- - Cleaned up graphics and text copy
