- - -The Press release: -

-New Open Source project called Secure Internet Live Conferencing (SILC) -has been started. Initial development version of the software is -available for testing. -

-SILC (Secure Internet Live Conferencing) is a protocol which provides -secure conferencing services in the Internet over insecure channel. -SILC is IRC like software although internally they are very different. -Biggest similiarity between SILC and IRC is that they both provide -conferencing services and that SILC has almost same commands as IRC. -Other -than that they are nothing alike. Biggest differences are that SILC is -secure what IRC is not in any way. The network model is also entirely -different compared to IRC. -

-SILC is an open source (or freeware) project and it has been released -under the GNU General Public Licence. The SILC is free to use and -everyone -is free to distribute and change the SILC under the terms of the GNU GPL. -While there is no guarantee for the product SILC has been tried make -as secure as possible. Developers are needed and everyone is free to -contribute their time, skills and ideas for the project. -
