Hi all,

Thank you all for the input and work already. Was AFK due to moving house
etc. I basically had to rename the packages because I wanted to use
TextSecure for normal messaging concurrently with the development version
on my phone.

I will have a look through your suggestions after my presentation about the
project tomorrow. For the moment please find the write up here:

Cheers,

Ludwig

I split the package renaming and actual code changes up into two different
commits (as best as I could). This link should make it easier to see the
changes:

Thanks Casey,
Even with you re-org, the changes are still hard to see due to the package
https://github.com/pR0Ps/TextSecureSMP/compare/3bb966cf35177d4ba7daf93a109959c01c74bd9c...master
If you were hoping to get maximum eyes looking at it Ludwig, I'd suggest
you re-push it as a feature branch off the main repo, without changing the
package/directories. This way the git history is more casually reviewable.
Thanks for putting your academic work out there for review though :)

Hi Ludwig,
I had a quick look and found it very difficult to see what had changed
because of the way all the TextSecure code and the modifications to it were
in a single commit.
I pulled down the repo and worked some quick Git-fu on it, the results
are at https://github.com/pR0Ps/TextSecureSMP . All the code is the
same, it's just split out of the TextSecure commits. Feel free to use it
however you want. For example if you want to show up on GitHub as a fork of
TextSecure, you can fork the TextSecure project, clone my repo, then force
push it to your new fork's master branch.
Cheers,
Carey
Hi all,
I have been developing an alternative authentication mechanism for the
TextSecure application as part of my degree requirements during the past
months. It is based like OTRv3 on the Socialist Millionaires' Protocol
which has some nice properties. Please have a look if you are interested

Looking forward to your questions and comments :)
Thanks,
Ludwig
