Off-the-record encryption
=========================
Converse.js supports `Off-the-record (OTR) <https://otr.cypherpunks.ca/>`_
encrypted messaging.
The OTR protocol not only **encrypts your messages**, it provides ways to
**verify the identity** of the person you are talking to,
**plausible deniability** and **perfect forward secrecy** by generating
new encryption keys for each conversation.
In its current state, Javascript cryptography is fraught with dangers and
challenges that make it impossible to reach the same standard of security that
is available with native "desktop" software.
This is due to its runtime malleability, the way it is "installed" (e.g.
served) and the browser's lack of cryptographic primitives needed to implement
secure crypto.
For harsh but fairly valid criticism of Javascript cryptography, read:
`Javascript Cryptography Considered Harmful <http://www.matasano.com/articles/javascript-cryptography/>`_.
To get an idea on how this applies to OTR support in Converse.js, please read
`my thoughts on it <https://opkode.com/media/blog/2013/11/11/conversejs-otr-support>`_.
For now, suffice to say that although its useful to have OTR support in
Converse.js in order to avoid most eavesdroppers, if you need serious
communications privacy, then you're much better off using native software.
Sound Notifications
===================
From version 0.8.1 Converse.js can play a sound notification when you receive a
message.
For more info, please see the `play_sounds`_ configuration setting.
Multilingual Support
====================
Converse.js is translated into multiple languages. The default build,
``converse.min.js``, includes all languages.
Languages increase the size of the Converse.js significantly.
If you only need one, or a subset of the available languages, it's better to
make a custom build which includes only those languages that you need.

Events
======
Converse.js emits events to which you can subscribe from your own Javascript.
Concerning events, the following methods are available:
Event API Methods
-----------------
* **on(eventName, callback)**:
Calling the ``on`` method allows you to subscribe to an event.
Every time the event fires, the callback method specified by ``callback`` will be
called.
Parameters:
* ``eventName`` is the event name as a string.
* ``callback`` is the callback method to be called when the event is emitted.
For example::
converse.on('message', function (messageXML) { ... });
* **once(eventName, callback)**:
Calling the ``once`` method allows you to listen to an event
exactly once.
Parameters:
* ``eventName`` is the event name as a string.
* ``callback`` is the callback method to be called when the event is emitted.
For example::
converse.once('message', function (messageXML) { ... });
* **off(eventName, callback)**
To stop listening to an event, you can use the ``off`` method.
Parameters:
* ``eventName`` is the event name as a string.
* ``callback`` refers to the function that is to be no longer executed.
