This is a Pidgin plugin which implements Off-the-Record (OTR)
Messaging. OTR allows you to have private conversations over IM by
providing:
- Encryption.
- No one else can read your instant messages.
- Authentication.
- You are assured the correspondent is who you think it is.
- Deniability.
- The messages you send do not have digital signatures that are
checkable by a third party. Anyone can forge messages after a
conversation to make them look like they came from you.
However, during a conversation, your correspondent is assured
the messages he sees are authentic and unmodified.
- Perfect forward secrecy.
- If you lose control of your private keys, no previous
conversation is compromised.
