# Encryption
|
|
Maubot has basic support for end-to-end encryption~~, but it is not yet exposed
|
|
in the web management UI~~. It is now exposed in the web management UI too.
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
To enable encryption, you must first have maubot installed with the `e2be`
|
|
optional dependency. To do this, you can either add `[e2be]` at the end of the
|
|
package in the `pip install` command, e.g. `pip install --upgrade maubot[e2be]`.
|
|
Alternatively, you can install the dependencies manually (`asyncpg`,
|
|
`python-olm`, `pycryptodome` and `unpaddedbase64`). The Docker image has all
|
|
optional dependencies installed by default.
|
|
|
|
## Getting a fresh device ID
|
|
When using maubot with encryption, you must have an access token and a device ID
|
|
that haven't been used in an e2ee-capable client. In other words, you can't take
|
|
the access token from Element, you have to log in manually. The easiest way to
|
|
do that is to use [`mbc auth`](cli/auth.md).
|
|
|
|
## Actually enabling encryption
|
|
After installing dependencies, put the device ID in the maubot client, either
|
|
using the web UI or just the `--update-client` flag with `mbc auth`.
