28 May 2008:
- The functionality of the OTR button has now moved to a menu. There's
an "OTR" menu, as well as an icon showing the current OTR state of
each active conversation in the window.
- New OTR icons from <cyrus_xiii@yahoo.com>
- OTR icons show up inline in the conversation window when the OTR
status changes.
- 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.
This is the OTR plugin for Pidgin.
Off-the-Record (OTR) Messaging allows you to have private
conversations over instant messaging 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.
