Alexander Færøy 016b42baea Add OTR support.
This patch adds support for the OTR protocol to irssi. This is an import
of the external irssi-otr project that we are now taking over
maintership for.

Major thanks to the original authors of Irssi-OTR: Uli Meis and David
Goulet. Thanks to the OTR community in #OTR on OFTC, thanks to everyone
who have helped testing the patches and submitted UI suggestions.

OTR %|[OPTION]
Command to control the OTR module. Without an option, this help is printed.
This help contains three sections which are %9options, quickstart and files.%n
To add the OTR status bar (highly recommended):
%9/statusbar window add otr%n
%9Options:%n
AUTH <secret>
Start or respond to an authentication process.
AUTHQ <question> <secret>
Start a SMP authentication process.
Example: %9/otr authq "My question is" "this is the secret"%n
AUTHABORT
Abort an ongoing authentication process.
CONTEXTS
List known contexts which basically list the known fingerprints and their
state.
DEBUG
Turn on debugging.
DISTRUST <fingerprint>
Distrust a specific fingerprint. This command can be done inside a private
window for which the current fingerprint of the other person will be used
or else set fp to a human readable OTR fingerprint available with the above
contexts command.
Examples: %9/otr distrust 487FFADA 5073FEDD C5AB5C14 5BB6C1FF 6D40D48A%n
FINISH
End the OTR session. This MUST be done inside a private conversation
window.
FORGET <fingerprint>
Forget a specific fingerprint (deleted from the known fingerprints). The
behavior is the same as the distrust command explained above.
GENKEY <name>
Generate OTR keys for a given account name. This is done automatically
if someone tries to establish a secure session.
This process is done in a background worker and can take an arbitrary
amount of time. The completion is checked when another irssi event is
catched.
HELP
Print this help.
INFO
Display the OTR fingerprint(s) of all your account(s).
INIT
Initialize an OTR conversation within a private conversation window.
TRUST <fingerprint>
Trust a specific fingerprint. The behavior is the same as the forget and
distrust commands explained above.
VERSION
Print the version of the OTR module.
%9Quickstart:%n
Start a private conversation with the person you want to initiate a secure
session. Once in the private message window:
%9/otr init%n
Key generation should start if no key is found for your account name. Once the
process is done, either type a message which should automatically start the
session or redo the init command.
Time to authenticate the person. Either use a shared secret exchange through
phone or GPG-signed email or use the socialist millionaire problem mechanism
(SMP) which is basically to ask a question for which the answer can only be
known by the other person.
%9/otr auth <shared-secret>%n OR %9/otr authq "A question" <shared-secret>%n
Or to respond to an authentication:
%9/otr auth <secret>%n
%9Files:%n
This otr modules creates a directory in %9$HOME/.irssi/otr%n and creates three
files:
* %9otr.key%n
Contains your OTR private key(s). NEVER shared this directory with someone
else unless you know what you are doing.
* %9otr.fp%n
The known fingerprints with their _trust_ status.
* %9otr.instag
Instance tag of the libotr. This should NEVER be copied to an other
computer. If unsure, just ignore this file.
