Q: What is SILC?
|
|
|
|
A: SILC (Secure Internet Live Conferencing) is a protocol which
|
|
provides secure conferencing services in the Internet over insecure
|
|
channel. SILC is IRC like although internally they are very different.
|
|
Biggest similarity between SILC and IRC is that they both provide
|
|
conferencing services and that SILC has almost same commands as
|
|
IRC. Other than that they are nothing alike.
|
|
|
|
Biggest differences are that SILC is secure what IRC is not in any
|
|
way. The network model is also entirely different compared to IRC.
