Pidgin's chat content encryption plug-in

Pidgin's chat content encryption plug-in-Linux general technology-Linux technology and application information. The following is a detailed description. Pidgin-Encryption is a plug-in dedicated to pidgin that transparently encrypts chat content. It is easy to use and has good confidentiality.

Theoretically, it can be used for any chat plug-ins supported by pidgin, such as GTalk, Yahoo, MSN, and QQ.

Both parties are required to use Pidgin. Pidgin-Encryption can automatically identify whether the other party has the same Encryption plug-in. If yes, you can manually switch to or automatically switch to the Encryption status.

The common chat communication process is:

Send text messages-sender encrypts messages by standard protocols-network transmission-server forwarding-network transmission-receiver decrypts messages by standard protocols-receive text messages

After the RSA Encryption and decryption layer of Pidgin-Encryption is used, the communication process becomes:

Send text messages-RSA encryption-senders encrypt messages by standard protocols-network transmission-server forwarding-network transmission-receivers decrypt messages by standard protocols-RSA decrypt messages text message

After the RSA Encryption and decryption layer of Pidgin-Encryption is added, both the message content transmitted on the network and the content received and sent by the server are encrypted by RSA. Therefore, even if your information is received by the network Hacker or the server, they cannot record and analyze the text message content. What they see is only a bunch of garbled characters generated after encryption.
