Off-the-Record (OTR) Messaging for Pidgin
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Allows you to have private conversations over instant messaging when
|
||
|
|
talking on Pidgin 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.
|
||
|
|
- Perfect forward secrecy: If you lose control of your private keys,
|
||
|
|
no previous conversation is compromised.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In order to use this plugin, you need libotr, which is also available
|
||
|
|
at SlackBuilds.org.
