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.
