pidgin-otr

Off-the-Record Messaging plugin for Pidgin

Description

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

they see are authentic and unmodified.

- Perfect forward secrecy

- If you lose control of your private keys, no previous conversation

is compromised.

This is a Pidgin plugin which implements Off-the-Record (OTR) Messaging.
