Anyone know what became of the Gaim-E Project?
Just wondering if anyone was familar with the Gaim-E project? Supposedly this was a plugin for the former IM client Gaim - now known as Pidgin -- that provided for encrypted IM communication using GnuPG.http://sourceforge.net/projects/gaim-e/ Interesting concept, however looks as if the project was abandoned. -- Kevin Hilton ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

Interesting concept, however looks as if the project was abandoned. It died due to lack of interest, mostly. Some IM protocols require short message blocks; OpenPGP messages are usually quite long. Thus, Gaim-E was never able to support as many protocols as Gaim/Pidgin itself could. A different project, OTR, provides confidential instant messaging. I have some minor quibbles with it, but all in all, OTR seems to be the best thing going for IM confidentiality. ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

Also, there is a plugin named Pidgin-Encryption http://pidgin-encrypt.sourceforge.net/ I don't know which one is better, but at least, there are things to provide encryption...

There is also a Plug-In for Pidgin called RSA Encryption that provides seamless IM Encryption as well.

Checksum
Hi to all, I am a little bit confused what is checksum in encryption and decryption. Thanks, Aylmer ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
