Pidgin configuration - noidcc/tails-group-installer GitHub Wiki

Persistence activation

Profile files

Pidgin configuration relies in three files wich must be created:

otr.private_key: private dsa key, 1024 bits.
otr.fingerprints: fingerprints of verified contacts
accounts.xml: account information and config.

Specification

Pre: we have a file with n lines containing mail_address:passphrase
Post: we have created:

otr.private_key file for each user
accounts.xmlfor each user
otr.fingerpirnts for the entire group.

Algorism
--------------------------------Loop (for each user)--------------------------------------
1. Creation of DSA keys
1.1 Generate parameters:
openssl genpkey -genparam -algorithm DSA out tfctestdsap.pem -pkeyopt dsa_paramgen_bits: 1024
1.2 Generate key in text mode:
openssl genpkey -paramfile tfctestdsap.pem out tfctestdsak.pem -text
2. Creation of account.xml
------------------------------------End Loop --------------------------------------
3. Extract fingerprints
