 description:
  Off-the-Record (OTR) Messaging allows you to have private conversations
 over instant messaging by providing:
  <ul>
  <br></br>
  <li>
  <h3>Encryption</h3><br></br>
      No one else can read your instant messages.
  </li>
  <br></br>
  <li>
  <h3>Authentication</h3><br></br>
      You are assured the correspondent is who you think it is.
  </li>
  <br></br>
  <li>
  <h3>Deniability</h3><br></br>
      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.
  </li>
  <br></br>
  <li>
  <h3>Perfect forward secrecy</h3><br></br>
      If you lose control of your private keys, no previous conversation is
 compromised.
  </li>
  <br></br>
  </ul>
