# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line # up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' # on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must # make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':'. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| pidgin_otr: pidgin_otr (Off-the-Record (OTR) Messaging for Pidgin) pidgin_otr: pidgin_otr: Allows you to have private conversations over instant messaging pidgin_otr: when talking on Pidgin by providing: pidgin_otr: - Encryption: No one else can read your instant messages. pidgin_otr: - Authentication: You are assured the correspondent is who you pidgin_otr: think it is. pidgin_otr: - Deniability: The messages you send do not have digital pidgin_otr: signatures that are checkable by a third party. pidgin_otr: - Perfect forward secrecy: If you lose control of your private pidgin_otr: keys, no previous conversation is compromised.
