Gaim-Encryption uses NSS to provide transparent RSA encryption as a Gaim plugin.
Features include:
* Automatically creates a public/private key pair for you upon loading
the plugin
* Automatically transmits your public key to other users.
* Supports 512 - 4096 bit keys.
* Saves keys of known users, and warns you if their public key has
changed.
* Embeds all encryption and keys inside HTML, so if the other user
doesn't have the plugin, they will get a little message telling them
about the plugin, and won't get a screen full of garbage.
* Stores keys in human readable files in your .gaim directory, in case
you ever need to copy/edit them by hand. Which you really shouldn't
have to do.
* Automatically recognizes if you are chatting with someone who has the
plugin- see the Preferences dialog.
* Modular and extensible. If you want to define a different type of
encryption, you can use this plugin as a wrapper to take care of
transporting the encrypted binary over the IM pipe.
