Well, for instant messengers, most do support some form of encryption, |
| 14 |
such that Empathy, Pidgin or any other client which can handle MSN must |
| 15 |
use encryption, as everything is sent over SSL. But, in general, I would |
| 16 |
suggest Pidgin, as via a plugin, it can be used in combination with OTR |
| 17 |
(Off-The-Record) which uses public-key encryption between clients, and |
| 18 |
ontop of that, there's even a plugin for pidgin which uses RSA instead, |
| 19 |
which I've found to be buggy, but is certainly a bit stronger in the |
| 20 |
cryptographic sense. |
