Off-the-Record (OTR) Messaging allows you to have private conversations over instant messaging by providing:
"Mia," David said, stepping forward. "I’d like you to meet Ethan. He’s a structural analyst. He deconstructs things for a living."
Ethan blinked. The recovery was instant. She had parried his insult with a psychological assessment. "Touché," he said. "But the point stands. The mystique, the silence, the selective visibility—it’s a brand strategy. It’s meant to sell an idea of a person who doesn't actually exist."
: The producer expresses skepticism regarding the realism and stakes of the plot.
He had wanted to expose her, to prove he was smarter than the hype. Instead, he found himself standing in the cold warehouse, outsmarted by a silence he had failed to interpret.
This is the portable OTR Messaging Library, as well as the toolkit to help you forge messages. You need this library in order to use the other OTR software on this page. [Note that some binary packages, particularly Windows, do not have a separate library package, but just include the library and toolkit in the packages below.] The current version is 4.1.1.
UPGRADING from version 3.2.x
This is the Java version of the OTR library. This is for developers of Java applications that want to add support for OTR. End users do not require this package. It's still early days, but you can download java-otr version 0.1.0 (sig).
This is a plugin for Pidgin 2.x which implements Off-the-Record Messaging over any IM network Pidgin supports. The current version is 4.0.2. mia melano - prove me wrong
This software is no longer supported. Please use an IM client with native support for OTR. "Mia," David said, stepping forward
This is a localhost proxy you can use with almost any AIM client in order to participate in Off-the-Record conversations. The current version is 0.3.1, which means it's still a long way from done. Read the README file carefully. Some things it's still missing:
You can find a git repository of the OTR source code, as well as the bugtracker, on the otr.im community development site:
If you use OTR software, you should join at least the otr-announce mailing list, and possibly otr-users (for users of OTR software) or otr-dev (for developers of OTR software) as well.

Here are some documents and papers describing OTR. The CodeCon presentation is quite useful to get started.
