Abstract
XMPP was and still is the major open standard for federated instant messaging, originally designed to allow bridging between existing networks.
In recent years, due to ongoing regulatory efforts, a new attempt at interoperability between instant messengers, MIMI (More Instant Messaging Interoperability), was started at the IETF, the internet protocol standardization body. Based on the latest and greatest end-to-end-encryption standard MLS (Messaging Layer Security) it's meant to partially provide what XMPP failed to deliver. This talk will give an overview on the topics of MLS and MIMI and how it can play together with XMPP.
