This is great, I was just thinking the other day that it should be possible to encrypt gmail messages. Now you should make it possible to encrypt GChat messages automatically when I hit Send, and then decrypt them when they are received, that way they are encrypted end to end, instead of just between my browser and the server :-)


If you use Pidgin, you can do just that with the Pidgin-Encryption plugin. Both parties need the plugin installed, though.

OTR supports this for pidgin, and has a proxy for other clients: http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/
