| 388746 | 2005-09-16 13:10:00 | ive decided to ditch msn messenger and ive moved to Gaim, ive heard there is some encryption add on for gaim. where do i get this? and how do i know it works? and do the other people who im talking to need gaim aswell in order for it to be encrypted? | Prescott (11) | ||
| 388747 | 2005-09-16 14:17:00 | You mean the SILC (secure internet live conferencing) plug-in? It is included by default in the Windows port, and most pre-built binaries for *nix. If your are building from source then you will have to specify it. See the GAIM faq (gaim.sourceforge.net/faq.php#q4), and Silcnet (silcnet.org). Edit: But wait, there's more. There are two encryption plug-ins I never knew about at the GAIM site. |

| 388749 | 2005-09-17 00:59:00 | Do you want to encrypt a conversation or files sent over GAIM? What OS are you running? |

| 388750 | 2005-09-17 02:30:00 | oh yeah, running windows xp, and wanting to encrypt conversations | Prescott (11) | ||
| 388751 | 2005-09-17 06:05:00 | I've played around with the Gaim encryption feature for a short time. Both parties need to be using encryption. The Windows plugin can be found here (gaim-encryption.sourceforge.net/) and this is the project page (http:). | Jen (38) | ||
| 388752 | 2005-09-17 08:00:00 | this is what a suspected then, both will need gaim and the plugin. im the only one using gaim out of my friends :rolleyes: oh well, thanks anyway :thumbs: |
