Encrypt state events (room metadata) on E2E rooms

Open ara4n opened this issue 8 years ago • 4 comments

E2E currently doesn't have support for encrypting state events.

However, I wonder if we could do better for the special case of room name/topic/avatar (especially avatar), given we never need to query on it, and they have no machine-meaningful semantics.

also widget state events

The main difficulty with this issue is how new room members get the decryption keys for the state events.
