Just a word of caution. Sometimes I read "OffTheRecord" chatlogs that have been posted on Cryptome.

A false sense of security can be more risky business than weak security, as pertains to what gets exposed.

Obviously no tool like that can prevent the exposure of the contents of the chat, and hopefully nobody believes that.

It does have the very useful property of granting plausible deniability, though, by making it possible to forge messages after the fact.
