+SILC Toolkit Reference Manual includes documentation for the SILC Toolkit
+package. It includes interface references to all interfaces found in
+various SILC libraries. The reference manual is automatically generated
+from the source code. Note that this version is preliminary and does not
+include references to all interfaces.

+<b>SILC Protocol White Paper</b>
+<br /> <br />
+SILC Protocol White Paper gives short but deep enough introduction to the
+SILC Protocol. Note that this is for those who would like to know how the
+protocol works. For more detailed description of the protocol we suggest
+reading the protocol specifications.

+<b>SILC Protocol Internet Drafts</b>
+<br /> <br />
+SILC Protocol is documented and four Internet Drafts exist. These
+Internet Drafts are also available from
+<a href="http://www.ietf.org/" class="normal">IETF</a>.
+<br /> <br />
+<b>NOTE Mon Nov 5 18:53:56 EET 2001:</b> New versions of the protocol
+specifications are almost ready for submission to the IETF. You can

+<b>Secure Internet Live Conferencing (SILC), Protocol Specification</b>
+<br /> <br />
+Abstract
+<br /> <br />
+ This memo describes a Secure Internet Live Conferencing (SILC)
+ protocol which provides secure conferencing services over insecure
+ network channel. SILC is IRC [IRC] like protocol, however, it is
+ not equivalent to IRC and does not support IRC. Strong cryptographic
+ methods are used to protect SILC packets inside the SILC network.
+ Three other Internet Drafts relates very closely to this memo;
+ SILC Packet Protocol [SILC2], SILC Key Exchange and Authentication
+ Protocols [SILC3] and SILC Commands [SILC4].

+<b>SILC Packet Protocol</b>
+<br /> <br />
+Abstract
+<br /> <br />
+ This memo describes a Packet Protocol used in the Secure Internet Live
+ Conferencing (SILC) protocol, specified in the Secure Internet Live
+ Conferencing, Protocol Specification Internet Draft [SILC1]. This
+ protocol describes the packet types and packet payloads which defines
+ the contents of the packets. It provides secure binary packet protocol
+ that assures that the content of the packets is secured and authenticated.

+<b>SILC Key Exchange and Authentication Protocols</b>
+<br /> <br />
+Abstract
+<br /> <br />
+ This memo describes two protocols used in the Secure Internet Live
+ Conferencing (SILC) protocol, specified in the Secure Internet Live
+ Conferencing, Protocol Specification internet-draft [SILC1]. The
+ SILC Key Exchange (SKE) protocol provides secure key exchange between
+ two parties resulting into shared secret key material. The protocol
+ is based on Diffie-Hellman key exchange algorithm and its functionality
+ is derived from several key exchange protocols. SKE uses best parts
+ of the SSH2 Key Exchange protocol, Station-To-Station (STS) protocol
+ and the OAKLEY Key Determination protocol [OAKLEY].
+<br /> <br />
+ The SILC Connection Authentication protocol provides user level
+ authentication used when creating connections in SILC network. The
+ protocol is transparent to the authentication data which means that it
+ can be used to authenticate the user with, for example, passphrase
+ (pre-shared-secret) or public key (and certificate).

+
+<b>SILC Commands</b>
+<br /> <br />
+Abstract
+<br /> <br />
+ This memo describes the commands used in the Secure Internet Live
+ Conferencing (SILC) protocol, specified in the Secure Internet Live
+ Conferencing, Protocol Specification Internet Draft [SILC1]. The
+ SILC Commands are very important part of the SILC protocol. Usually
+ the commands are used by SILC clients to manage the SILC session, but
+ also SILC servers may use the commands. This memo specifies detailed
+ command messages and command reply messages.
