"Nikita Borisov and Ian Goldberg (of many, many other projects) have
released Off the Record Messaging for Gaim. Encrypt an IM, prove (at the
time) that it came from you, and deny it later. The authentication works
only when the message is sent; anybody can forge all the messages he
wants afterwards (toolkit included). Captured or archived messages prove
nothing. And forward secrecy means Big Brother can't read your messages
even if he wiretaps you AND grabs your computer later on. All the gooey
goodness of crypto, with none of the consequences! They have a protocol
spec, source code, and Debian and Fedora binaries."
