RE: Chat Encryption
Now now dreaded and s7a5, easy up a lil will you?
For the greater public it is not necessary to encrypt messages sent as they are NOT logged. That is what Cookie is trying to explain to you...both of you claim that all chats are logged by MSN wich clearly isn't so....those who write encryption programs will say they do ofcourse, it's promotion/advertising for them! Cookie is only explaining all this to prevent people getting paranoid over things that are untrue and to take away any doubt/fear you might have concerning this.
Ofcourse you are free to encrypt the messages you send, that's not what's beeing discussed here. But is it worth the hassle?
ONLY if you are a criminal and a request has been made and aproved by the government to log your chats, only then they will be logged. Way more important is to secure your computer, trojans can intercept your logs and everything else you do on your computer.
