# 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 ':' except on otherwise blank lines. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| libotr: libotr (Off The Record Messaging Library and Toolkit) libotr: libotr: OTR allows you to have private conversations over IM by providing: libotr: - Encryption: No one else can read your instant messages. libotr: - Authentication: You are sure the other side is who you think it is. libotr: - Deniability: The messages you send do not have digital signatures libotr: that are checkable by a third party. libotr: - Perfect forward secrecy: If you lose control of your private keys, libotr: no previous conversation is compromised. libotr: libotr: Homepage: https://otr.cypherpunks.ca/
