Otr4j

Synopsis

otr4j is an implementation of the OTR (Off The Record) protocol in java. Its development started during the GSoC '09 where the goal was to add support for OTR in jitsi. It currently supports OTRv1, OTRv2 and OTRv3. Additionally, there is support for fragmenting outgoing messages.

For a quick introduction on how to use the library have a look at the DummyClient.
