> However, *even if you achieve it*, I would still strongly propose that we stop calling it "deniability" or "off-the-record", for the "misleading-users" reasons I detailed elsewhere.

Generally speaking, we discuss protocols in terms of repudiation and
non-repudiation. The word deniable is a mapping of common understanding
with the less than common meaning of the word repudiation.

SILC exists for group chats if you want an encrypted multi-party chat
protocol with non-repudiation (in a court, from a forensics perspective,
etc etc).

If people are going to re-invent SILC, why not ensure that they don't
make the same mistakes?

All the best,
Jacob
