# 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 ':'. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| libotr: libotr (OTR Messaging Library and Toolkit) libotr: libotr: This is the portable OTR Messaging Library, as well as the toolkit libotr: to help you forge messages. 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 assured the correspondent is who you think libotr: it is. libotr: - Deniability: The messages you send do not have digital signatures libotr: - Perfect forward secrecy: If you lose control of your private keys, libotr: no previous conversation is compromised.
