            6 IRC is part of the protocols that survived to the advent of the Web.

            9 It still has users, it still has new network and communities initiatives springing out, it is alive.

           12 One single little touch it lacks is end-to-end encryption.
           13 Without it it is perfect for public communities such as software projects discussions and support chat, live event chats...
           14 but private 1-to-1 communication could suddenly become a good candidate for end-to-end encryption.

           21 brings in a simple piece of code using libNaClk,
           22 the crypto library from Dan Bernstein,
           23 author of ED25519 (in its repackaged libsodium form).
           24 This is state-of-the-art, well-proven and fast cryptography for end-to-end communication.

           27 With this plug-in dropped in the plugin folder,
           28 all private communication start by a simple key exchange over normal IRC,
           29 and the conversation upgrades to nacl-encrypted messages over regular IRC.

           32 There might not be any simpler way to encrypt peer-to-peer communication online.
