| Summary : Off-The-Record Messaging plugin for GAIM
|
Description :
This is a gaim plugin which implements Off-the-Record (OTR) Messaging.
It is known to work (at least) under the Linux and Windows versions of gaim
(1.x).
Off-the-Record (OTR) Messaging allows you to have private conversations over
instant messaging by providing:
- Encryption: no one else can read your instant messages.
- Authentication: yYou 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.
