mod_cloud_notify_encrypted: Ensure body substring remains valid UTF-8 The `body:sub()` call risks splitting the string in the middle of a multi-byte UTF-8 sequence. This should have been caught by util.stanza validation, but that would have caused some havoc, at the very least causing the notification to not be sent. There have been no reports of this happening. Likely because this module isn't widely deployed among users with languages that use many longer UTF-8 sequences. The util.encodings.utf8.valid() function is O(n) where only the last sequence really needs to be checked, but it's in C and expected to be fast.

Introduction
============

This module was written to encourage usage of End-to-end encryption for chat and MUC messages. It can be configured to warn the sender after every plaintext/unencrypted message or to block all plaintext/unencrypted messages. It also supports MUC and JID whitelisting, so administrators can for example whitelist public support MUCs ;-)

Configuration
=============

Enable the module as any other:

    modules_enabled = {
      "e2e_policy";
    }

You can then set some options to configure your desired policy:

  Option                                 Default        Description
  ------------------------------------   ------------   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  e2e\_policy\_chat                      `"optional"`   Policy for chat messages. Possible values: `"none"`, `"optional"` and `"required"`.
  e2e\_policy\_muc                       `"optional"`   Policy for MUC messages. Possible values: `"none"`, `"optional"` and `"required"`.
  e2e\_policy\_whitelist                 `{ }`          Make this module ignore messages sent to and from this JIDs or MUCs.
  e2e\_policy\_message\_optional\_chat   `""`           Set a custom warning message for chat messages.
  e2e\_policy\_message\_required\_chat   `""`           Set a custom error message for chat messages.
  e2e\_policy\_message\_optional\_muc    `""`           Set a custom warning message for MUC messages.
  e2e\_policy\_message\_required\_muc    `""`           Set a custom error message for MUC messages.

Some examples:

    e2e_policy_chat = "optional"
    e2e_policy_muc = "optional"
    e2e_policy_whitelist = { "admin@example.com", "prosody@conference.prosody.im" }
    e2e_policy_message_optional_chat = "For security reasons, OMEMO, OTR or PGP encryption is STRONGLY recommended for conversations on this server."
    e2e_policy_message_required_chat = "For security reasons, OMEMO, OTR or PGP encryption is required for conversations on this server."
    e2e_policy_message_optional_muc = "For security reasons, OMEMO, OTR or PGP encryption is STRONGLY recommended for MUC on this server."
    e2e_policy_message_required_muc = "For security reasons, OMEMO, OTR or PGP encryption is required for MUC on this server."
