Yes, encryption will be available at two levels

TLS at the transport level and opportunistic symmetric at the E2E level for
private messages and secure rooms. This may be used for authenticity
validation as well, more on this later.

Rooms will also have a TLS tag, meaning some rooms may require you to connect
over a TLS channel to enter. This will still allow non-encrypted BBS to connect
to MRC, without being able to get into the secure rooms.

Also, the whole message distribution model is changing from broadcast to
unicast with a greater focus on privacy, obviously.

Cheers!
