How to configure identity (SASL) in weechat

  1. generate key
    openssl ecparam -genkey -name prime256v1 -out ~/.weechat/ecdsa.pem
  2. get the public key encoded as base64 
    openssl ec -noout -text -conv_form compressed -in ~/.weechat/ecdsa.pem | grep '^pub:' -A 3 | tail -n 3 | tr -d ' \n:' | xxd -r -p | base64
  3. connect to the server and identify yourself
    /connect freenode
    /msg nickserv identify <password>
  4. set the pubkey
    `/msg nickserv set pubkey
  5. configure the SASL options in the server
    /set irc.server.freenode.sasl_mechanism ecdsa-nist256p-challenge
    /set irc.server.freenode.sasl_username "your_nickname"
    /set irc.server.freenode.sasl_key "%h/ecdsa.pem"
  6. reconnect to the server and verify the server automatically identifies you
