[OTR-users] Private Keys File

[Richard M. Conlan]

Actually, my reason for asking was to figure out how to manage the 
trade-off of multiple sign-on locations. At current I have a different 
key at home & at work. I was thinking that perhaps I'd just copy the 
keyfile and bring it to work...but since it is unprotected I would then 
be opening up my personal keys to my employer, which isn't cool (at 
least in principle).

Anybody want to point me at regions of the code I might want to be 
looking at were I to consider providing a patch to optionally AES 
encrypt the key file?

...

Uh...what encryption library does OTR use?
