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.
