Use OTR to Encrypt Pidgin Conversations
OTR allows you to have private conversations over instant messaging by providing encryption, authentication, and deniability. Most distro’s have OTR in the repo’s. It comes standard with your pidigin installation in Suse. A search of Synaptic or pruit/yumex in Fedora should easily find OTR as well. If it is not in your repo’s you can build it from source here: http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/#downloads
Binaries are also provided for Windows users as well.
