+This package implements Off-The-Record Messaging protocol in python.
+
+Off-The-Record Messaging (OTR) is a cryptographic protocol that
+provides encryption for instant messaging conversations. OTR uses a
+combination of AES symmetric-key algorithm with 128 bits key length,
+the Diffie-Hellman key exchange with 1536 bits group size, and the
+SHA-1/SHA-256 hash functions.
+
+Its primary purpose is to be a dependency for the Blink SIP client.
