This is a plugin used to encrypt one-to-one conversation using the OTR
encryption method. You can use it if you want good privacy, deniability,
-authentication, and strong secrecy. Without this
-encryption, your messages are encrypted **at least** from your client (poezio) to
-your server. The message is decrypted by your server and you cannot control the
-encryption method of your messages from your server to your contact’s server
-(unless you are your own server’s administrator), nor from your contact’s

This plugin does end-to-end encryption. This means that **only** your contact can
decrypt your messages, and it is fully encrypted during **all** its travel
through the internet.
Note that if you are having an encrypted conversation with a contact, you can
-**not** send XHTML-IM messages to him. They will be removed and be replaced by

+This is a limitation of the OTR protocol, and it will never be fixed. Some clients

+it is not pretty.

+Files
+-----
+
+This plugin creates trust files complatible with libotr and the files produced by gajim.
+
+
+The files are located in :file:`$XDG_DATA_HOME/poezio/otr/` by default (so
+:file:`~/.local/share/poezio/otr` in most cases).
+
+Two files are created:
+
+- An account_jid.key3 (:file:`example@example.com.key3`) file, which contains the private key
+- An account_jid.fpr (:file:`example@example.com.fpr`) file, which contains the list of trusted
+ (or untrusted) JIDs and keys.

-The OTR session is considered for a full jid.
-
+The OTR session is considered for a full jid, but the trust is considered
+with a bare JID. This is important to know in the case of Private Chats, since
+you cannot always get the real the JID of your contact (or check if the same
+nick is used by different people).
