Off-the-Record Messaging

• 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.
