Off-the-Record (OTR) Messaging is a gaim plugin
which allows you to have private conversations
over the instant messaging system of your choice.
It provides encryption, which prevents someone who
intercepts your instant messages from reading
them; authentication, which ensures that the
correspondent is who you think it is; and perfect
forward secrecy, which ensures that no previous
conversation is compromised if you lose control of
your private keys.
