This module allows you to encrypt private conversations using the [https://otr.cypherpunks.ca/ OTR protocol]. Several popular [https://otr.cypherpunks.ca/software.php IRC clients] support OTR (usually requiring a plugin).

For more information about OTR, see:
* https://otr.cypherpunks.ca/
* https://otr.im/
 
== Installing ==
 
The module source is available at https://github.com/mmilata/znc-otr. You can download a [https://github.com/mmilata/znc-otr/archive/master/znc-otr-master.tar.gz tarball] directly if you don't want to use git. Once you have the source code, follow the instructions for [http://wiki.znc.in/Compiling_modules compiling] and [http://wiki.znc.in/Modules#.28Un.29Loading_Modules loading ZNC modules].
 
== Usage ==
To request OTR-encrypted conversation with someone, send them the message ''?OTR?'' in a private conversation. If the request succeeds the module informs you about it and requests that you authenticate the other side if you haven't previously done so.
 
The module is controlled by sending commands to the ''*otr'' nick. The commands are listed below.
 
Please note that otr is a network module meaning that if your account has multiple IRC networks then each has its own instance of the module and its own ''*otr'' nick.
