Since no one has yet mentioned it, Ryan Lackey once mentioned a secure chat program.. Zephyr? Gale? (the name was related to some other existing, insecure chat program)

MIT uses Zephyr for text messaging. It's not secure, but it can authenticate with Kerberos.

There are "homebrew" extensions to have encrypted sessions; basically, since zephyr is 8-bit safe, you can put whatever you want inside the message, including (non-armored) encrypted data.

He's talking about gale, www.gale.org. -- A quote from Petro's Archives: ********************************************** "As someone who has worked both in private industry and in academia, whenever I hear about academics wanting to teach ethics to people in business, I want to puke."--Thomas Sowell.
