I'm working on a secure protocol for inter-server federation. It's based on another project I'm running called Social Material. Administrators will be able to white/black list different servers. All server validation will be done with SSL certs. Each message will be signed by the user who sent the message. Each message will be encrypted based on sender and target server such that messages can be cached by intermediate servers, but they cannot read the message. I'm expecting that server-to-server IPC will be over HTTP/HTTPS, but it's not manditory.
Is there some reason this can't be done over XMPP? What's the value of inventing another server-to-server secure federation protocol?
