|
|
```
|
|
XMPP Client (Conversations/Dino)
|
|
↓ XEP-0363 Upload Request
|
|

|
```
|
|
|
|
### Security Architecture
|
|
1. **Authentication Flow**: XMPP credentials → ejabberd → HMAC token → File server
|
|
2. **Token Security**: HMAC-SHA256 with shared secret, time-based expiry
|
|
3. **Authorization**: Per-user quotas, file size limits, extension filtering
|
|
4. **Data Protection**: Secure token transmission, no credential exposure
