+libotr (OTR Messaging Library and Toolkit)
+
+This is the portable OTR Messaging Library, as well as the toolkit to
+help you forge messages.
+
+OTR allows you to have private conversations over IM 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
+ - Perfect forward secrecy: If you lose control of your private keys,
+   no previous conversation is compromised.
