xchat-otr binary package in Ubuntu Precise powerpc
Off-the-Record (OTR) Messaging Plugin for the X-Chat IRC Client
.
This plugin adds Off-the-Record messaging support for the X-Chat IRC client.
Although primarily designed for use with the bitlbee IRC2IM gateway, it works
within any query window, provided that the conversation partner's IRC client
supports OTR.
.
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 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.
