If you are looking for a securely encrypted chat method, consider using the website CryptoCat...
https://crypto.cat/
CryptoCat uses client-side JavaScript to implement 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard for message encryption and Elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman for key agreement.
If the country you live in is possibly spying on you (ok, any country these days) and you need encrypted chat that also allows for multiple person party chat, this could be for you. This could save lives be it sharing off the record news, planning an uprising, a revolution, or just talking about who the world elite will pick for the next president of the United States come November. You can never be too safe these days.
The teen author who developed CryptoCat, Nadim Kobeissi, has been routinely detained and interrogated at U.S. border crossings and questioned about the encryption algorithms.

(CryptoCat author Nadim Kobeissi)
Suppose police or a secret service aim to create a "honeypot" to catch outlaws. What could they do ? For example :
ReplyDelete- open a website like "Easy Encrypted Chat",
- advertise on it, by arresting the author of algorithm,
- watch for customers,
- and all that from their desk !
It's a supposition, but rather disturbing, no ?
So you may trust or not, the doubt still remains...
