Secure Real-time Communication? 7
jblackman asks: "I'm a big user of ICQ, AIM, and their ilk, but it recently occured to me that they're probably completely insecure. I'd like to continue using messaging programs, but I'd hope to have at least the option of encrypting my communication. Are there any ideas on how to accomplish this? "

(I can't think of any way of using IPSEC via the server, as connections need key exchanges.)
However, as this is for real-time communication, IPSEC and SKIP seem very viable options, as they are stable, don't require you to mess about with the communications software, are platform independent, and offer very good security.

Basicly it's an irc server/client package that all traffic is encrypted, i.e. client/server server/server.
We're implimenting the security in modules, so if you don't want to use say blowfish, you drop in the oh for this case ummm triple-des module and away you go.
We're not too close to shipping it but you can check out the project page at http://www.phunc.com/projects/secureirc/index.htm
