[Bug 296867] Re: empathy needs to support OTR encryption

[Nils Toedtmann]

I am tired of pidgin and very interested in Empathy. But i depend on
OTR, so i cannot switch.

I know 5 others in my local geekosphere who have the same.

OTR is unaware of the layer below. That makes it clumsy or unelegant to
implement for an individual protocol like XMPP. But at the same thime
this is a strength: a multi-protocol IM client with OTR has end-to-end
security with the same key pair on all protocols used. And that is
elegant again :-) Calling that "broken by design" is a narrow view and
missing the point of OTR.
