<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
<p>Many XMPP clients implement some form of client-side message archiving. However, it is not always convenient or even possible to archive messages locally, e.g., because it is easier to keep all archives in one universally accessible place (not scattered around on multiple computers or devices) or because the client operates in a web browser or resides on a mobile device that does not have sufficient local storage for message archiving. In addition, server-side archiving makes it possible to offer new services such as integration of IM and email. Therefore it is beneficial to define methods for server-side archiving of XMPP messages.</p>
<p>There are two main approaches to this problem:</p>
<ol start='1'>
<li>Enable the client to send individual messages or entire conversations to the server for archiving (optionally after encryption); we call this manual archiving.</li>
<li>Enable the server (at the client's request) to archive messages as they pass through the server; we call this automated archiving.</li>
</ol>
<p>So that client and server developers can refer to one specification, both approaches are defined in this document. In addition, this document defines common methods for retrieving and managing archived messages.</p>
<p>Complying with <strong>XMPP Core</strong>, the server MUST respond to all &IQ; element of type 'get' or 'set'. However, most successful responses have been omitted from this document in the interest of conciseness.</p>

<p>For each feature defined herein, if the server supports that feature it MUST return a &lt;feature/&gt; element with the 'var' attribute set to 'http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0136.html#ns-name', where 'name' is 'auto' for the <link url='#auto'>Automated Archiving</link> feature, 'encrypt' for the <em>server-side</em> encryption feature (see <link url='#auto'>Automated Archiving</link>), 'manage' for the <link url='#manage'>Archive Management</link> feature, 'manual' for the <link url='#manual'>Manual Archiving</link> feature, and 'pref' for the <link url='#pref'>Archiving Preferences</link> feature.</p>

</section1>
<section1 topic='Archiving Preferences' anchor='pref'>
<section2 topic='Introducton' anchor='pref-reqs'>
<p>Not all users want to archive messages. A client SHOULD save its user's default archiving preference (or "Save Mode") to its own server (i.e., specify whether by default all conversations should be archived or not). In addition, a client MAY save different preferences for particular contacts.</p>
<p>Some users may also prefer that the messages they exchange with contacts are "<link url='#otr'>Off The Record</link>" (OTR). A client SHOULD save its user's default and contact-specific OTR preferences (or "OTR Modes") to its own server.</p>
<p>Whichever archiving method a client uses (e.g., local file archiving, or automatic or manual archiving to a server), it SHOULD adhere to its user's archiving preferences. However, a client MAY maintain a set of preferences in a local file which takes precedence over the preferences stored on the server for both local archiving and manual archiving.</p>
<p>This section addresses the following use cases:</p>
<ol start='1'>
<li>A client determines its user's current default Save Mode and OTR Mode, and the Modes for particular contacts.</li>
<li>A client sets the default Save Mode and OTR Mode.</li>
<li>A client sets the Save Mode and OTR Mode for a particular contact.</li>
</ol>
</section2>
<section2 topic='Determining Preferences' anchor='pref-determine'>
<p>In order to determine its user's current Save Mode(s) and OTR Mode(s), a client sends an empty &lt;pref/&gt; element to its server:</p>
<example caption='Client Requests Archiving Preferences'><![CDATA[
<iq type='get' id='pref1'>
<pref xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0136.html#ns'/>
</iq>
]]></example>
<p>The server responds with the default Save Mode and OTR Mode (a single &lt;default/&gt; element) and any specific Save Modes and OTR Modes for individual contacts (zero or more &lt;item/&gt; elements).</p>
<p>Each &lt;default/&gt; or &lt;item/&gt; element in the response MUST include a 'save' attribute, whose value MAY be 'false' (the saving entity MUST save nothing), 'body' (the saving entity SHOULD save only &BODY; elements), 'message' (the saving entity SHOULD save the full XML content of each &MESSAGE; element) or 'stream' (the saving entity SHOULD save every byte that passes over the stream in either direction). Note: The upload, retrieval and management of 'stream' archives is <em>currently</em> beyond the scope of this document.</p>
<p>Note: Support for the 'message' value is optional and, to conserve bandwidth and storage space, it is RECOMMENDED that client implementations do not specify the 'message' value. <note>Stream compression typically does not mitigate bandwidth and storage issues since collections SHOULD be encrypted, and since clients running in constrained runtime environments typically cannot take advantage of stream compression (no binary data, only XML, may be transfered).</note></p>
<p>Note: When archiving <em>locally</em> a client MAY save the full XML content of each &MESSAGE; element even if the Save Mode is 'body'.</p>
<p>Each &lt;default/&gt; or &lt;item/&gt; element in the response whose 'save' attribute is not set to 'false' is RECOMMENDED to also include an 'expire' attribute which indicates how many seconds after messages are archived that the server SHOULD delete them.</p>
<p>Each &lt;default/&gt; or &lt;item/&gt; element in the response MUST include an 'otr' attribute, whose value MAY be 'require', 'prefer', 'approve', 'concede', 'oppose', or 'forbid'. The client MUST be guided by the specified 'logging' attribute value when negotiating (see &xep0155;) whether or not all messages exchanged with a contact will be <link url='#otr'>Off The Record</link>. (Note: An 'otr' attribute value of "require" in Message Archiving is equivalent to a 'logging' attribute value of "mustnot" in Chat Session Negotiation; for details, see the <link url='#otr-nego'>OTR Negotiation</link> section of this document.)</p>
<p>Note: If the OTR Mode is 'require' then the Save Mode MUST be 'false'.</p>
<p>The server MUST also include &lt;method/&gt; elements that reflect the user's preferences for each of the possible archiving methods. There MUST be at least three such elements for local file archiving (type 'local'), automatic archiving by the user's server (type 'auto'), and manual archiving to a server (type 'manual'). The 'use' attribute of each &lt;method/&gt; element MUST be set to 'prefer', 'concede' or 'forbid' - indicating which archiving methods the user's clients SHOULD, MAY (if it does not support any preferred method) or MUST NOT use.</p>
<p>The server MUST also include an &lt;auto/&gt; element reflecting the current <link url='#auto'>Automated Archiving</link> settings for <em>this stream</em>.</p>
<example caption='Server Returns Preferences'><![CDATA[
<iq type='result' id='pref1' to='juliet@capulet.com/chamber'>

<method type='local' use='concede'/>
<method type='manual' use='prefer'/>
<auto save='false'/>
</pref>
</iq>
]]></example>
<p>If the user has never set the default Modes, the 'save' and 'otr' attributes SHOULD specify the server's default settings, and the 'unset' attribute SHOULD be set to 'true'. Note: The 'unset' attribute defaults to 'false'.</p>
<example caption='Server Returns Service Default Preferences'><![CDATA[
<iq type='result' id='pref1' to='juliet@capulet.com/chamber'>

<method type='local' use='concede'/>
<method type='manual' use='concede'/>
<auto save='false'/>
</pref>
</iq>
]]></example>
<p>Once it has received a request for archiving preferences from the client, the server MUST send any subsequent changes to any of the user's archiving preferences to the client until the stream is closed (see below). Note: changes to the &lt;auto/&gt; element MUST NOT be replicated in this way.</p>
</section2>
<section2 topic='Setting Default Modes' anchor='pref-default'>
<p>A client may set the default Modes:</p>
<example caption='Client Sets Default Modes'><![CDATA[
<iq type='set' id='pref2'>
<pref xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0136.html#ns'>
<default save='false' otr='prefer'/>
</pref>
</iq>
]]></example>
<p>If the server can process the request, it acknowledges the change:</p>
<example caption='Server Acknowledges Change'><![CDATA[
<iq type='result' id='pref2' to='juliet@capulet.com/chamber'/>
]]></example>
<p>The server then MUST inform all of the user's connected resources that have previously requested the user's archiving preferences:</p>
<example caption='Server Pushes New Modes'><![CDATA[
<iq type='set' id='push1' to='juliet@capulet.com/chamber'>

<pref xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0136.html#ns'>
<default save='false' otr='prefer'/>
</pref>
</iq>
]]></example>
<p>The server MAY be configured to return a &lt;feature-not-implemented/&gt; error in the following cases:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>If it does not allow the saving of full message stanza content, and the client set the value of the 'save' attribute to 'message' or 'stream', and any of the user's connected resources have <link url='#auto'>Automated Archiving</link> enabled.</p></li>
<li><p>If administrator policies require that at least the &lt;body/&gt; elements (or the full content) of every message are logged automatically, and the client sets the value of the 'save' attribute to 'false' (or 'body').</p></li>
</ul>
</section2>
<section2 topic='Setting Modes for a Contact' anchor='pref-jid'>
<p>A client may use a similar protocol to set the Modes for a particular contact or domain of contacts (bare JID, full JID or domain). Note: It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED for the value of the 'jid' attribute to be a bare JID (&BAREJID;).</p>
<example caption='Client Sets Modes for a Contact'><![CDATA[

<section1 topic='Off The Record' anchor='otr'>
<p>A user will sometimes exchange messages with contacts who prefer that their conversations are not archived by either party.</p>
<section2 topic='OTR Negotiation' anchor='otr-nego'>
<p>Any client that archives messages SHOULD support <cite>Chat Session Negotiation</cite> and its 'logging' field both to give other contacts the opportunity to indicate this preference, and to negotiate an "Off The Record" (OTR) policy that complies with its user's own <link url='#pref'>Archiving Preferences</link>.</p>
<p>Note: A client MUST NOT propose or agree to enable OTR (i.e., disallow message logging) unless it has confirmed that its server will allow it to switch off <link url='#auto'>Automated Archiving</link>.</p>
<p>Both parties to a chat session negotiation may have OTR preferences (i.e, the initiating party or "user" and the responding party or "contact"). These preferences will interact in the ways specified below, resulting either in a successful negotiation or an unsuccessful negotiation (naturally, an unsuccessful negotiation can lead to a subsequent negotiation attempt by the user or the contact).</p>
<p>The following table shows what chat session negotiation values the initating party (i.e., the "user") should send for the 'logging' field in the initial data form for a chat session negotiation (note: 'may' means that the receiving party MAY enable message logging and 'mustnot' means that the receiving party MUST NOT enable logging).</p>
<table caption='Chat Session Negotiation logging options offered by initiating party (user)'>
<tr>
<th>User's OTR Preference</th>
<th>Offering 'logging' Negotiation Option(s)*</th>
</tr>
<tr>

<tr>

</tr>
<tr>
<td>concede</td>
<td>may,mustnot***</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>oppose</td>
<td>may,mustnot***</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>forbid</td>
<td>may***</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>* In order of preference, the first value is the default.</p>
<p>** If the user receives no response it MUST NOT send any messages to the contact.</p>
<p>*** Alternatively, the user MAY decide not to <em>initiate</em> an OTR negotiation and to save messages (until the contact initiates a negotiation).</p>
<p>Note: When negotiating a chat session, the user MUST include the &lt;required/&gt; element inside the 'logging' &lt;field/&gt; element. If the user does not receive a successful response to its chat negotiation request (and if the OTR Mode is not 'require'), then it SHOULD proceed as if the contact had responded with the value of the 'logging' &lt;field/&gt; element set to 'may'.</p>
<p>The following table shows what chat session negotiation values the responding party (i.e., "contact") should send for the 'logging' field in its response to a chat session negotiation request from the user.</p>
<table caption='Chat Session Negotiation logging value selected by responding party (contact)'>
<tr>
<th>Contact's OTR Preference</th>
<th colspan='4'>Responding 'logging' Negotiation Values*</th>

</table>
<p>* The first value is the default.</p>
<p>** The negotiation fails and the parties MUST NOT exchange any messages; however, the recipient MAY attempt to initiate a chat session negotiation with the other party.</p>
<p>Note: If a contact does not include a 'logging' field in its initial Chat Session Negotiation request, and a user's Archiving Preferences indicate that OTR is <em>required</em>, then the client MUST refuse the request. It MAY then send its own Chat Session Negotiation request with a 'logging' field.</p>
<p>If a user's OTR preference for a contact changes during a Chat Session that has been negotiated with the contact, and if the new preference would affect the value of the 'logging' field that was previously negotiated, then the client MUST immediately renegotiate the 'logging' field according to the user's new OTR preference (or terminate the Chat Session).</p>
</section2>
<section2 topic='Notes' anchor='otr-notes'>
<p>If a Chat Session Negotiation agreed to enable OTR then the clients MUST NOT allow messages sent in <em>either</em> direction to be archived in any way (including <link url='#manual'>Manual Archiving</link> and <link url='#auto'>Automated Archiving</link>). <note>If a client (or user) acts in bad faith then its contacts cannot prevent it archiving conversations.</note></p>
<p>If a Chat Session Negotiation agreed to enable OTR then both clients MUST ensure that the Chat Session Negotiation messages themselves are not archived. For example, if <link url='#auto'>Automated Archiving</link> was enabled when the client received the initial Chat Session Negotiation request, then the client MUST immediately ask its server to delete its copy of the request (see <link url='#manage-remove'>Removing a Collection</link> for a description of how to remove the messages currently being recorded by the server).</p>
</section2>
</section1>
<section1 topic='Manual Archiving' anchor='manual'>
<section2 topic='Introduction' anchor='manual-intro'>
<p>While automated archiving is easy for the client and server to implement, there are many contexts in which manual archiving is required. For examples, when:</p>
<ul>
<li>Messages are encrypted using evanescent keys, as in &xep0116;</li>
<li>A client's own server does not support automated archiving but it (or another server) does support manual archiving</li>
<li>A server does not support encryption of auto-archived collections</li>
<li>A client wants to maintain a unified archive for messages that were transmitted both in and out-of-band (e.g. SMS or email)</li>
<li>A client wants to append private notes to a conversation</li>
</ul>
<p>Therefore, often a client will want to send or receive a sequence of messages, optionally add private notes to the sequence, optionally encrypt the sequence, and then ask the server to archive it. Such messages and notes SHOULD be stored on the server in the form of a "collection".</p>
</section2>
<section2 topic='Collections' anchor='manual-collection'>
<p>A "collection" is a set of messages to/from the same user that are received near each other in time or as part of the same conversation thread. A collection is intended to mimic the natural flow of human conversations, which in instant messaging (IM) systems tend to occur in bursts (e.g., a five-minute conversation one day, followed by a ten-minute conversation the next).</p>
<p>Each collection of messages and notes is encapsulated in a &lt;chat/&gt; element.</p>
<p>The client uniquely specifies a collection using a pair of attributes:</p>
<ul>
<li>'with' (the full JID with which the messages were exchanged)</li>
<li>'start' (the UTC start time of the conversation thread, which MUST be UTC and adhere to the DateTime format specified in &xep0082;)</li>
</ul>
<p>A friendly name for the collection MAY be specified with a 'subject' attribute. Note the <link url='#security-subject'>Security Considerations</link> regarding the subject attribute.</p>
<p>The opaque thread ID of the conversation (found in the &THREAD; children of the &MESSAGE; elements whose content is stored in the collection) MAY be specified with a 'thread' attribute.</p>
<p>Note: The content of &MESSAGE; elements that have different thread IDs SHOULD be archived in separate collections. The content of &MESSAGE; elements that have the same thread IDs SHOULD be archived in the same collection. The thread attribute SHOULD NOT be set to any value other than the exact content of the &THREAD; elements. If no &THREAD; elements appeared in the conversation the &lt;chat/&gt; element SHOULD have no thread attribute. Implementations SHOULD use the thread attribute for cross-referencing purposes only, within the archive each collection MUST be uniquely identified by the combination of its 'with' and 'start' attributes.</p>
<p>Each collection MAY contain &lt;note/&gt;, &lt;to/&gt; or &lt;from/&gt; elements (or &lt;EncryptedData/&gt; and &lt;EncryptedKey/&gt; elements - see <link url='#crypt'>Encryption</link>).</p>
<p>The text of each individual private note MUST be encapsulated in a &lt;note/&gt; element. The absolute time the note was created SHOULD be specified with a 'utc' attribute (which MUST be UTC and adhere to the DateTime format specified in <cite>Jabber Date and Time Profiles</cite>).</p>

The time in whole seconds of the message relative to the previous message in the collection (or, for the first message, relative to the start of the collection) SHOULD be specified with a 'secs' attribute. Note: When deciding whether to round up or down to a number of whole seconds, entities MUST ensure that the sum of the 'secs' attribute and the 'secs' attributes of the preceeding messages will accurately reflect the absolute time of the message. (e.g., if a sequence of messages occur at exactly 0.51-second intervals then the 'secs' attributes should generally alternate between '0' or '1'.)</p>

<section1 topic='Encryption' anchor='crypt'>
<p>The examples above are not encrypted for clarity. However, clients SHOULD encrypt manually-archived collections (although early implementations of this protocol MAY prefer to defer encryption and decryption to later releases). Servers MUST support the manual-archiving of encrypted collections.</p>
<p>Before uploading a sequence of messages to a collection, the client SHOULD select a symmetric data encryption algorithm, generate a suitable random encryption key, give the key a unique (for the user) name, encrypt the symmetric key with one of the user's public keys, and wrap the result inside one or more &lt;EncryptedKey/&gt; elements, as specified in &w3xmlenc;.</p>
<p>To ensure that all its user's clients will be able to decrypt the collection, the client SHOULD create one &lt;EncryptedKey/&gt; element for each of its user's public keys that are being published using &xep0189;. However, the client MUST NOT create an &lt;EncryptedKey/&gt; element for any public key until it has confirmed that it belongs to the user. Note: The fact that a public key is being published using <cite>Public Key Publishing</cite> is <em>not</em> sufficient proof of ownership, since the user's server may have been compromised at some stage. The method of confirmation is beyond the scope of this document.</p>
<p>The client SHOULD use the symmetric key to encrypt the joined sequence of &lt;to/&gt;, &lt;from/&gt; and &lt;note/&gt; elements, base64 encode the resulting sequence of bytes, and wrap it inside an &lt;EncryptedData/&gt; element, as described in <cite>XML Encryption</cite>.</p>
<p>Clients may add one or more &lt;EncryptedData/&gt; or &lt;EncryptedKey/&gt; elements to a collection using exactly the same method as for &lt;to/&gt;, &lt;from/&gt; and &lt;note/&gt; elements (see <link url='#manual-upload'>Uploading Messages to a Collection</link>). One collection may contain &lt;EncryptedData/&gt; elements encrypted with different symmetric keys.</p>
<p>When appending &lt;EncryptedData/&gt; elements to a collection, the client MAY reuse a symmetric KEY that has already been uploaded to the collection. In this case the client SHOULD NOT resend &lt;EncryptedKey/&gt; elements.</p>
<p>Note: A collection that contains &lt;EncryptedData/&gt; or &lt;EncryptedKey/&gt; elements MUST NOT contain &lt;to/&gt; or &lt;from/&gt; or &lt;note/&gt; elements.</p>

<p>Requirements and protocol flows for each of these use cases are defined below. The protocols to retrieve a list of collections and an indivdual collection both make extensive use of &xep0059;. Clients and servers SHOULD support all the features defined in that protocol.</p>
<section2 topic='Retrieving a List of Collections' anchor='manage-list'>
<p>To request a list of collections the client sends a &lt;list/&gt; element.

The 'with' attribute MAY be specified to limit the list to a single participating full JID, bare JID or domain.</p>
<p>If the 'with' attribute is omitted then collections with any JID are returned. If only 'start' is specified then all collections on or after that date should be returned. If only 'end' is specified then all collections prior to that date should be returned.</p>
<p>The client SHOULD use <cite>Result Set Management</cite> to limit the number of collections returned by the server in a single stanza, taking care not to request a page of collections that is so big it might exceed karma limits.</p>

<section2 topic='Retrieving a Collection' anchor='manage-retrieve'>
<p>To request a page of messages from a collection the client sends a &lt;retrieve/&gt; element. The 'with' and 'start' attributes specify the participating full JID and the start time (see <cite>Jabber Date and Time Profiles</cite>). Both attributes MUST be included to uniquely identify a collection:</p>
<p>The client SHOULD use <cite>Result Set Management</cite> to limit the number of messages returned by the server in a single stanza, taking care not to request a page of messages that is so big it might exceed karma limits.</p>

<section1 topic='Replication'>
<p>This section describes how a client MAY replicate an archive locally. <note>Clients that run in constrained environments may not be able to implement replication if they are prevented from accessing (sufficient) local storage.</note> The existence of a local copy of the archive enables clients to search the content of all messages (including collections saved by another client machine). <note>Since collections SHOULD be stored on the server in a form that it cannot decrypt, server-side searching of the content of messages is beyond the scope of this protocol.</note></p>
<p>The client MAY 'synchronize' its local copy of the archive with the 'master' archive on the server at any time. The first step is to request the list of collections that the server has changed (created, modified or removed) in its master archive since the last update to the client's copy of the archive.</p>
<p>The client MUST request each page of the list using the <cite>Result Set Management</cite> protocol embeded in a &lt;modified/&gt; element. The content of the &lt;after/&gt; element SHOULD be a UTC time (see <cite>Jabber Date and Time Profiles</cite>) that it has previously received from the server (see below). When synchronizing for the first time, the client MAY choose a suitable time for the first page request (e.g. 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z).</p>
<example caption='Requesting a page of modifications'>

</set>
</modified>
</iq>
]]></example>
<p>The server MUST return the changed collections in the chronological order that they were changed (most recent last). If a collection has been modified, created or removed <em>after</em> the time specified by the &lt;after/&gt; element then the server MUST include it in the returned result set page of collections (unless the specified maximum page size would be exceeded). Each &lt;changed/&gt; or &lt;removed/&gt; collection element (for modified/created, or removed collections respectively) in the returned list MUST include only 'with' and 'start' attribues. The server MUST set the content of the &lt;last/&gt; element to the UTC time (see <cite>Jabber Date and Time Profiles</cite>) that the last collection on the page was modified.</p>
<example caption='Receiving a page of modifications'><![CDATA[

]]></example>
<p>Note: The server should remember the 'with' and 'start' attribues and the time of removal of all deleted collections. If this 'state' cannot be maintained indefinitely, then unless all the user's clients replicate before the server deletes its memory of a removal then it will not be reflected in all the local copies of the archive.</p>
<p>Note: Along with its copy of the archive the client SHOULD save the most recent &lt;last/&gt; time that it received from the server. The next time it synchronizes with the server it SHOULD specify that time when requesting the first result set page (see above).</p>
<p>After receiving each result set page the client SHOULD delete from its local archive any collections that have been removed from the master archive. The client should also retrieve from the server the content of each collection that has been modified (see <link url='#retrieve'>Retrieving a Collection</link>) and add it to its local copy of the archive (deleting any older version of the same collection that it may already have).</p>

<section1 topic='File Format' anchor='fileformat'>
<p><em>Note the file format specified in this section is likely to be deprecated once a standards-based format has been published in a separate specification.</em></p>
<p>So that clients can share archived messages, this document specifies a common format for storage on disk (similar to email formats like mbox and Maildir). The file format uses the same XML constructs as the protocol. Each file may contain messages exchanged with a single JID. Any number of &lt;chat/&gt; elements may be stored in an archive file.</p>

<section1 topic='Implementation Notes' anchor='impl'>
<section2 topic='Time Synchronization' anchor='impl-sync'>
<p>When creating a new collection, it is RECOMMENDED that the client synchronizes the collection start time that it sends to the server with server time. This is important since the user may subsequently retrieve the archived collection using client machines whose UTC clocks are not synchronized with the client machine that uploaded the collection. (i.e. Either or both of the clients' UTC clocks may be wrong.) The client can achieve this synchronization with server time by using &xep0090; to estimate the difference between the server and client UTC clocks.</p>
<p>When retrieving collections, it is RECOMMENDED that the client adjusts the start times of the collections it receives from server to be synchronized with the clock of the client machine.</p>
</section2>
<section2 topic='Bandwidth Considerations' anchor='impl-bandwidth'>
<p>When uploading messages using manual archiving, a client SHOULD NOT upload one message at a time on the server since this increases both bandwidth consumption and the total number of transactions. It is instead RECOMMENDED that clients upload messages only when the conversation thread <em>appears</em> to be terminated, e.g. when the user closes the chat window. If the user reopens the window and the thread continues then the client should append the new messages to the collection when the user closes the window again.</p>

<p>Server implementations SHOULD give system administrators the option to disable support for both automated and manual archiving, since archived conversations can consume significant storage space.</p>
</section2>
</section1>
<section1 topic='Stream Feature' anchor='streamfeature'>
<p>Although message archiving is not negotiated between a client and its server as part of stream negotiation, a server MAY advertise a stream feature of "http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0136.html#ns" (see <link url='#ns'>Protocol Namespace</link>) during stream setup (via the &lt;feature/&gt; element, which MUST NOT contain a &lt;required/&gt; child), and MUST do so if automatic archiving is on by default (if so, the &lt;feature/&gt; element MUST include a &lt;default/&gt; child).</p>

<section2 topic='Automatic Archiving Defaulting to On' anchor='security-autoon'>
<p>If automatic archiving defaults to enabled then that creates serious privacy issues for users of legacy clients that do not support this protocol, and (more seriously) for those contacts who they unwittingly mislead by agreeing to disable logging (via the 'logging' field defined in XEP-0155).</p>
<p>If a server deployment enables automatic archiving by default, then it MUST return a stream feature containing an empty &lt;default/&gt; element (see the <link url='#streamfeature'>Stream Feature</link> section of this document).</p>
</section2>
<section2 topic='Plain Text Subject' anchor='security-encrypt'>
<p>Since the subject of each collection will not be encrypted, the client MUST warn its human user (if any) before including 'subject' attributes on encrypted collections.</p>
</section2>
<section2 topic='Store Headers' anchor='security-store'>
<p>The client that originates a message MAY specify a 'false' value for the 'store' header (see &xep0131;). The recipient MUST NOT archive such a message or any of the information it contains.</p>
<p>If the sender plans to use 'store' headers it MUST use Service Discovery to determine whether or not the recipient supports them. Note: Since servers are not required to check the content of message stanzas for headers, if the recipient is using automatic archiving then it MUST indicate that it does not support 'store' headers.</p>
<p>If the recipient does not support 'store' headers, then the sender MUST confirm with its human user (if any) before sending such a message.</p>
