What happens when seeing a new Autocrypt key for a verified contact? #32
Labels

|
In verified groups and verified 1:1 chats the verified key is to be used no matter if there are new opportunistic autocrypt keys. Delta's default channel is opportunistic, though. If you don't explicitely ask for a verified chat then autocrypt logic will be applied (new keys overriding the old). There are all kinds of UI considerations around this ... not sure we need to discuss them here in the countermitm repo. |

fixes #32. Treat verified contacts as two people groups. This is what delta.chat does in its UI. Also clearly separates the considerations about verified keys from the discussion of opportunistic keys.

I assume we still use the latest keys we see. If a new Autocrypt key shows up after the verification it would be used and remove the verified contact checkmark. Or is the verification 'sticky'? Is there a warning?
I don't think we have specified this yet.
