<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
|
||||
<p>Some instant messaging implementations of the Jabber/XMPP protocols have long supported the ability for IM users to be online but appear invisible. The existing protocols for doing so are:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><p>&xep0018; -- this protocol is not compatible with &xmppcore; and &xmppim;, and the speciifcation does not provide reliable documentation of the protocol in use since many server implementations support presence of type "invisible" but not presence of type "visible".</p></li>
|
||||
<li><p>&xep0018; -- this protocol is not compatible with &xmppcore; and &xmppim;, and the specification does not provide reliable documentation of the protocol in use since many server implementations support presence of type "invisible" but not presence of type "visible".</p></li>
|
||||
<li><p>&xep0126; -- this protocol is a somewhat complicated use of &xep0016; for the temporary purpose of appearing invisible rather than the intended purpose of permanently blocking communications; however, the invisible command defined herein can provide a client-friendly interface to the same data store used for privacy lists.</p></li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>In order to provide a standards-compliant protocol that can be used in the long term, this document defines an IQ-based protocol that enables an IM user to become "invisible" and "visible" at will within the context of a given session. This protocol is intended to supersede the protocol described in <cite>XEP-0018</cite> and provide a more client-friendly approach to invisibility than <cite>XEP-0126</cite>.</p>

<p>A server MAY use the same backend data store for invisibility mode as defined herein and &xep0016; as used for invisibility (see <cite>XEP-0126</cite>).

<section1 topic='Security Considerations' anchor='security'>
|
||||
<p>It is important to recognize that invisibility can be defeated without the use of privacy lists, intelligent stanza handling by the server, and an awareness of context on the part of a client. For example:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>If a user attempts to send a message, IQ, or presence stanza to a contact, the user may inadvertently leak his or her presence; therefore the client SHOULD warn the user before allowing the user to generate any outbound traffic, including "is-composing" events as defined in &xep0085;.</li>

<li>If a user attempts to send a message, IQ, or presence stanza to a contact, the user can inadvertently leak his or her presence; therefore the client SHOULD warn the user before allowing the user to generate any outbound traffic, including "is-composing" events as defined in &xep0085;.</li>
|
||||
<li>If a user usually logs in as the same resource (e.g., "Home"), a contact can send an IQ request to that resource's full JID using &xep0012;, &xep0030;, &xep0090;, or &xep0092; and receive a reply, thus providing information that reveals the user's availability.</li>
|
||||
<li>If a contact sends a <cite>Last Activity</cite> request to the user's bare JID, the user's server normally would reveal information about the user's availability; however, while the user is in invisible mode the server MUST return a &unavailable; error to such contacts.</li>
