+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. +
