libotr (OTR Messaging Library and Toolkit)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is the portable OTR Messaging Library, as well as the toolkit to
|
||
|
|
help you forge messages.
|
||
|
|
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
|
||
|
|
- Perfect forward secrecy: If you lose control of your private keys,
|
||
|
|
no previous conversation is compromised.
