Vector is built with support for end-to-end encryption by default.
|
||||
|
||||
To enable encryption for a room, type
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
/encrypt on
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
in the message bar in that room. Vector will then generate a set of keys, and
|
||||
encrypt all outgoing messages in that room. (Note that other people in that
|
||||
room will send messages in the clear unless they also `/encrypt on`.)
|
||||
To enable the (very experimental) support, check the 'End-to-End Encryption'
|
||||
box in the 'Labs' section of the user settings (note that the labs are disabled
|
||||
on http://vector.im/beta: you will need to use http://vector.im/develop or your
|
||||
own deployment of vector). The Room Settings dialog will then show an
|
||||
'Encryption' setting; rooms for which you are an administrator will offer you
|
||||
the option of enabling encryption. Any messages sent in that room will then be
|
||||
encrypted.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that historical encrypted messages cannot currently be decoded - history
|
||||
is therefore lost when the page is reloaded.
|
||||
|
||||
There is currently no visual indication of whether encryption is enabled for a
|
||||
room.
