Is there any information on this working group? I had hopes for the IETF standard XMPP, since the largest IM provider WhatsApp uses it internally.

  Apologies; it turns out I was mistaken in believing the IEEE was working on a standard, it's actually the IETF. Abbreviations are hard :( I believe this is the relevant draft: https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-mahy-mimi-identity-01.html https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-mahy-mimi-identity-01.html Edit: I should add that as far as I know, the working group hasn't done much as of yet. I heard about this on Matrix because some of the Matrix folks are trying to get (parts of) the federated Matrix protocol into the standard, or probably at least parts of it.

    The draft doesn't mention Matrix, but it's nice to see that they consider standardization even if the use case for their protocol is probably already covered by the existing XMPP standard.

      It doesn't, but that's what the person I heard mention this effort is trying to change.
