Description

I would love to see blowfish support in Quassel even though it might not be as widespread for use, but I believe its a very important one every IRC client should have. I am not sure how hard it is to implement it so not sure how long it will take to implement it. Maybe this can be used?

Guess you're talking about OTR support here?

OTR Support?

#3 Updated by m4ck almost 15 years ago

Oh I just understood what OTR was. I am not really sure what kind of encryption Blowfish really is. I guess as long as its compatible with other clients it should do its job.

I'd also really like to see support for blowfish encryption in Quassel. It's the only thing keeping me from changing and dumping irssi. The most common implementation of blowfish encryption is FiSH1. It has plugins for xchat, irssi and mirc. Another implementation you might want to look at is Konversation2. It supposedly supports blowfish encryption, too.

I implemented blowfish support for my own IRC client a few years ago as a plugin (the client was written in C# and the plugin too). The code is quite simple, I post it here, as it could help for implementation.
