ScatterChat - Anonymous Secure Chat

ScatterChat is a secure instant messaging client (based upon the Gaim software) that provides end-to-end encryption, integrated onion-routing with Tor, secure file transfers, and easy-to-read documentation.

Its
security features include resiliency against partial compromise through perfect forward secrecy, immunity from replay attacks, and limited resistance to traffic analysis... all reinforced through a pro-actively secure design.

ScatterChat allows you to set up a secure channel with another ScatterChat user so that encrypted messages can be exchanged. It also verifies that you are indeed talking to the person you think you are, and not an impostor. ScatterChat uses 2048-bit ElGamal and 1024-bit DSA for encryption setup and authentication.


The release announcement was made at HOPE, where CDs were distributed. This could prove to be the biggest security enforcement nightmare since PGP [pre Version7 ].
