Encrypted Message

[zenon49]

I have a mate on chatsecure(also chatsecure & android device). But often I got the following message tho' we both set up ORT: [You Received an unreadable encrypted message]

The problem, my mate don't know if the message is sucessfully DE-CRYPTED on my device and thinks I read it.

Please make maybe a double-checked icon in addition. 1 check -> Received on device 2 checks-> Sucessful de-crypted

So he would know that something went wrong..

Is it normal that this happens often? It's really disturbing that ORT with it's de-cryption fails and I can't read the messages from my friends. I selected im my settings "Chat encryption 'automatic' " Any tipps of possible fixes?

About the solution: In case it is possible to implement this using the available protocols, it might be more useful if the author of a message gets a kind of "reply" if the decryption fails, so he can "respond" by resending the message. Maybe this could happen automatically (controllable via settings). From my point of view this would be a more appropriate solution than a "double-checked icon".

Is it normal that this happens often? I personally get this kind of error usually rather using mobile network. This seems to be related to the cryptographic key exchange of OTR.

We do some sort of automatic retry if there isn't a valid OTR session in place. We also show delivery confirmations for messages. I will check and make sure that we only show a delivery confirmatino if the message was successfully decrypted.
