+ <ul>
+ <li>"Encryption: No one else can read your instant messages."</li>
+ <li>"Authentication: You are assured the correspondent is who you think it is."</li>
+ <li>"Deniability: The messages you send do not have digital signatures that are checkable by a third party. Anyone can forge messages after a conversation to make them look like they came from you. However, during a conversation, your correspondent is assured the messages he sees are authentic and unmodified."</li>
+ <li>"Perfect forward secrecy: If you lose control of your private keys, no previous conversation is compromised."</li>
