Description

Chat conversations can add transparent RSA encryption through an NSS-backed Pidgin plugin. This add-on is useful for users maintaining legacy encrypted Pidgin workflows where both sides support the plugin. It is dependency-only and has no separate launcher; Pidgin loads it when installed and enabled. Encryption depends on key handling, peer verification, plugin compatibility, and protocol behavior, so users should not assume it protects every chat scenario.
