Thu, Jun 19th 2008 12:26
Communications :: Chat
Communications :: Chat :: AOL Instant Messenger
Security :: Cryptography
About: 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.
Changes: The functionality of the OTR button has now moved to a menu. The
button can optionally be shown in addition, but now in the conversation
toolbar. New icons were added. Buddy authentication has been revamped,
based on the user study published in SOUPS 2008. The default is now to
choose a question and an answer only you and the buddy should know. The
question is displayed to the buddy, who is prompted for the answer. The
"shared secret" and "fingerprint" authentication methods are still
available. Translations were made for Arabic, German, Russian, and
Hungarian.
