Off-the-Record Encryption for Gajim

WARNING

  • There are some bugs that can lead to accidently sending plaintext. It is recommended to use PGP or OMEMO instead. See OMEMO.

  • The plugin won't work with Gajim >= 1.0 as it was not ported to python3. There is no port planned.

Description

This plugin provides experimental, potentially insecure support for the chat protocol indepentent OTR encryption.

OTR stands for Off-the-Record and is designed to provide encryption, authentication, deniability and perfect forward secrecy. See the creators' website otr.cypherpunks.ca for more information on the protocol.

The plugin was developed on GitHub but has moved to Gajim Gitlab.

Dont install the plugin from other sources than the Gajim Plugin Manager or Gajim Gitlab
