(description
"OTR 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.")
