If you had a kerberized IRCD and IRC libs supporting GSSAPI, the above problems could be solved, as could eavesdropping. Unfortunately I can't find information as to whether such a thing exists. As for a message bus guaranteeing delivery, this ought to be possible over Jabber. The larger issue is WHEN it is delivered. If it is time-sensitive, having a timeout value and a required acknowledgement might be necessary.

The download is old. Use svn. We are almost to beta-readiness.
