Matrix node: End-to-end encryption for messages

Currently, all messages created by the Matrix node are unencrypted, even when they are posted in end-to-end encrypted rooms.

It would be great if the Matrix node were able to create end-to-end encrypted messages.

The Matrix Javascript SDK supports end-to-end encryption via the libolm library.

I’m just pasting this link since I believe these two problems are related: Decrypt Matrix messages

You’re right. Decrypting end-to-end encrypted messages would also be a helpful feature, and can be implemented using the same library.

I can’t edit my original post, but decryption should be in there too.

yeah it would be really nice to have encrypted message compability with the matrix node.

It’s been over 3 years, I wonder why such an essential feature wasn’t integrated. I think because they’re using matrix-bot-sdk as an infrastructure for the implementation, which does work well, but does not support E2EE.

For E2EE, using matrix-js-sdk can be a better alternative, but this also means they need to rebuild their integration.

I am new here and came precisely because of the Matrix integration. The encrypted transmission of songs does not work. I didn’t know that before.

How can this be added?

One of the main reasons for using Matrix is E2EE, which became mandatory for some businesses. It’s sad not to use N8N for Matrix integration just because it lacks this feature. Please, please!

any update on the encryption support ?
