TURN protocol leaks username #144

@MilanKral

Description

@MilanKral

Current mobile networks with NAT many times require use of TURN servers.
Most TURN server authenticate users using username and password.

Because aTalk only supports UDP protocol for TURN it leaks the username - username is transferred in clear text. When "Auto discover STUN/TURN" is used to gather TURN servers, then the TURN username is the Jabber username, so Jabber username is leaked.

Please consider enabling support for TLS, DTLS for TURN.

Please consider implementing support for XEP-0215, which allows the Jabber server to publish short-term TURN login username and password.
