Doesn't Google already support SSL on client-to-server and server-to-server connections? If so, just make sure you're using an SSL-enabled client and it's encrypted client-to-server. If the person you're contacting is on another Jabber server and their server is SSL aware, the server-to-server connection should be encrypted as well. Then there's Psi and others, which works with Google Talk and uses industry standard OpenPGP for total end-to-end encryption. -- Paul Johnson Email and IM (XMPP & Google Talk): [EMAIL PROTECTED]
