Given what may or may not be recent ToS changes to the AIM service, I've recently been looking into encryption plugins for gaim.
Specifically, I note gaim-otr, authored by Ian G, who's on this list.
Just a quick note of clarification, there is a collision in the name Ian G. 4 letters does not a message digest make. Gaim-otr as I understand it is authored by Nikita Borisov and Ian Goldberg <otr@cypherpunks.ca>. It can be acquired here: http://www.xelerance.com/mirror/otr/ and here are some other links: http://www.emergentchaos.com/archives/000715.html Just to confuse the issue I also am working on a private instant messaging service which is markedly different, in that I am taking a payment system and reworking it into an IM system: http://www.financialcryptography.com/mt/archives/000379.html But I haven't got around to a download yet. And it's not AIM compatible, as it works through its host payment system.
Ian - would you care to share some insights on this? Is it ready for prime time or just a proof-of-concept? Any known issues?
