What makes Talk Secure unique?
Because it uses technology that does not allow for your chosen key (password) to be sent over the wire. How is Talk Secure differnet from RSA encryption? It is different from RSA encryption, because both parties send over their key before the chat starts encrypting.
Why should you use Talk Secure?
Other methods of encrypted chats on the internet may allow for people to 'listen' (view) for your key and thus be able to decode your chat--as if there had never been a key set to begin with; unsecure. With Talk Secure, your key is sent using a different, more secure, method and results in an very secure environment.
To begin, please your Alias (how you will be viewed on the chat; nickname), a Secure Key (that will be used to encrypt your text; password) and a Channel (a unique, private, chatroom). All you need to do then, is give your Secure Key and Channel to your friend(s ) and/or colleagues and begin chatting.
