Enable encrypted iChats without using .Mac
Authored by: jctull on Feb 22, '06 08:14:59AM

I've been using this a little bit lately. It is fairly straightforward to set up and use by following the instructions. You have to remember to start it prior to starting iChat. It always hangs on quit after having run iChat on my Powerbook G4 titanium requiring a force quit. I run OS 10.4.5.

Lastly, it requires the user on the other end to be using the same encryption technology in order to have encrypted chats. Adium has OTR built-in as its encryption engine, so Adium users just have to turn on the encryption in their preferences. But you can still have unencrypted chats with any user.
