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.
