    all supported OS:

    If you visit the website of Jami (https://jami.net/) it is mentioned that Jami has End-to-end encryption by default.

    However this is not true if you are using SIP-accounts (only; or mixed with Jami accounts #1398 (comment 34317)) jami-docs#25 (comment 45602)

    Especially if one peer is using the PSTN: https://www.twilio.com/blog/srtp-deep-dive

    It is possible to use E2EE on a SIP-call using ZRTP but this will probably be not the default setting of all peers. And even if you have E2EE the SIP call will probably generate call detail records.

    https://www.linphone.org/technical-corner/post-quantum-encryption

    https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6189

    So we should display a message if you add a SIP-account like:

    "Note: Although Jami accounts always use end-to-end encryption by default, SIP-Accounts won't have end-to-end encryption even if you use (transport) encryption methods like Udp or tls. Using SIP-Accounts together with (e2e encrypted) Jami accounts might exploit data of other peers that communicate from a Jami account to a SIP-account and vice versa.

    Also using the phone network might generate (additional) metadata even if you use ZRTP and E2EE"

    And a dialog box with options like

    • I understand and I wish to continue (Opt-In: Don't show this message anymore -it won't be shown unless a new own Jami is added)
    • Use ZRTP and E2EE: Other peers won't be able to join if not enabled (Note. This might still generate metadata/call detail records)"
    • I only want End-to-end encryption always by default - Do not use a SIP-Account / cancle
