Hi everyone,

I have been working on a proposal for an extension to OTR that adds
support for Ed25519 signing keys instead of DSA, and also changes the
usage of SHA-1 and SHA-2 to SHA-3 in the full protocol.

The proposal can be read here:
https://github.com/twstrike/otr-extension-J/blob/master/protocol-otr-extension-j.md

I would appreciate thoughts and comments.

We have a more or less complete implementation of this for our OTR
Golang implementation (barring some updates) - and it seems to work
really well.

Cheers
