Introduction

• Who are we? (exited SILC users)
• Why SILC? (enc and auth traffic, new design -> advantages, why an irc-SSL layer isn't the way to do it...)
• Short history of SILC
  • How it begun
  • Status of the project
• Technical intro to the protocol
  • based on the white paper
  • A few things that are designed better compared to IRC
    • Nicks/Clients
      • SILC: not unique, unique Client ID; identicated by public key (no nick services needed); attributes and present modes
      • IRC: unique; authenticated by password/host mask (nick services needed); userinfo through service, away only
    • Channels
      • SILC: unique; founder mode (no channel services needed); channel public keys possible
      • IRC: unique; channel services needed for registration;
    • Messages/File transfer
      • SILC: all messages encrypted; all messages pass server; messages can be sign; multimedia messages possible; SFTP mandatory, other file transfer protocols possible
      • IRC: all messages are unencrypted, ctcp/dcc for e2e communication and file transfer
  • How it works using the silc-client
    • Show a few things:
      • Chat (found channel, what is founder, founder mode, save your key!)
      • nicks (double nicks)
      • MIME message to the channel, ...
      • signed messages
      • private channel key
      • client auth channel
      • private msg key (pubkey, passphrase)
      • watch
      • detatch
  • Other clients
    • Silky demo
    • frameworks
