Pidgin-Encryption Reviews

Wouldn't install, even after Accepting the Terms. The Install button would not highlight. It sounded like a great encryption tool. But that was was all; it only [sounded] great. I wouldn't have given it even one star, had that been an option.

Works with pidgin 2.10.7 without any problems on Win 7 x64 Ultimate. So great, so simple. Just-one-click-and-use tool. Thx a lot!

Thanks very good project! +

Good project

it's just working :)

Works perfectly well across Linux and Windows platforms. I tried it with ICQ and XMPP (Google) both default 1024 bit key and 4096. Management of keys is a breeze, and they're stored in a familiar SSH-like format in ~/.purple by default. Auto-encryption works as expected, by and large the management of this plug-in is really swell, it never gets in your way and everything works just smoothly. Thanks for developing and maintaining this nice plug-in.

Sadly doesn't work on Pidgin 2.7 on windows. (I'm on Win7-64 in case that helps). Going back to Off-The-Record for encryption.

Pretty cool... 3.1 works nicely in linux... 3.1 version for windows would be really nice since 3.0 somehow doesn't work with gtalk :(

Works well, appears to be a solid crypto implementation. Highly recommended. PS to novices: there are many crypto plug-ins for pidgin and for other programs. Just because it says "encryption" doesn't mean it's secure! Educate yourself on basic crypto terminology, then avoid anything that doesn't clearly advertise which algorithms it uses! (For example, Pidgin-Encryption uses RSA, which is well-known and verifiable. Better yet, it uses the Mozilla NSS library, both well-known and widely used... which means that a lot of people have scrutinized this code.)
