   I just watched the Appelbaum, Poitras #31C3 talk. Pretty disturbing stuff, the good news was that they believed OTR and GPG were still safe. I've been wondering, though, which OTR implementation is the safest one, has there been any audits for example?

     Also nice that they called for an applause to Ian Goldberg (OTR) and Werner Koch (GnuPG). I actually talked with Werner at !FSCONS in 2011, only the next day I realised who he was when he gave a talk :-)

     @theru OK, this appears to indicate that OTR for Pidgin has been audited: https://www.eff.org/secure-messaging-scorecard

     @theru Yeah, that's what I'm a bit concerned about...

     @lnxw48 Yeah, I think I've read that article. I wish there was a very clean desktop client that did only XMPP + OTR and was well audited. Pidgin tries to do everything...
