off the record

Filed under: academic, civil rights, it security, technology — Dalini @ 16:41

Off the record (otr) is new protocoll which aims to protect your private conversations from to curriuos people even from yourself after you finished the conversation. Sure if you wanna save the conversation even otr won’t be able to truely avoid that at the moment but this is where its name comes from. In case you are wondering why i would like to denie my chatpartner to save a conversation, well sometimes you don’t wan’t it. I would wonder if you like it, if somebody is running around with an enebled voice-recorder all day long and recording all the things you say. Read more at: cypherpunks. They also provide some academic papers for this stuff.

Well, we are still trying to get everything compiled under linux – especially the proxy stuff, so it may work with any im-client available. But no luck so far :/ for some people. Anyway my gaim has a otr-plugin but couldn’t test it yet, since nobody else seemes to have it installed so far.

Will keep you posted.

Well, now I have one too. One of those fancy blogs (short for weblog). I’m wondering if this will be some kind of online-journalism. To be honest, I don’t think so. This thing here will, if it does anything, do exactly one thing: catch my thoughts or at least it is meant to do so. So, if you are interested in seeing what will get caught here you are welcome to travel with me through my thoughts. If you are not interested, well maybe you should leave simply. But that’s only a suggestions, of course. One last note: most of my private thoughts may get caught somewhere else, I think.

So then, lets have some fun.

ps: I hope one beloved one ;) won’t find to many errors in my usage of her beloved language. I’ll gonna do my very best to keep the errors at a low rate. *kisses babe*
