MPGP ADDON FOR MIRC/MIRCRYPTION
| |

*Recently (Jan 2005) recompiled and brought up to date to work with the latest PGP 8.x (and previous versions). [MPgp is possible due to the great open source pgp components for delphi coded by Michael in der Wiesche]. |
MircryptionPgp is a public-key cryptographic add-on for mIRC version 5.9x and 6.x, for use with the Mircryption addon.
The goal of this free cryptographic add-on to mirc is to provide easy and secure generation and exchange of mircryption channel keys (plus some other public key encryption features).

- Two levels of safety: choose between maximum convenience and maximum security.
- Invulnerable to man-in-the-middle attack when used with trusted independent pgp keys (level two).
- Automatically authenticate your pgp identy over irc, or send small files through irc.
- All transmissions occur through the irc server and irc proxies/bnc - ips are never revealed.
- Uses standard pgp keyrings - compatible with your existing pgp keys and you can use all pgp features, keyservers, etc.
- Requires an installation of Pgp 6.5x or greater (note: PGP source code is avail. on the net).
- Employs Counterpane Lab's Yarrow PRNG.
- Source code is Borland C++ Builder, and 18k mirc script.
- For MS Windows only (not available for xchat/unix).
- People mostly prefer to use the FishDH addon to exchange keys, but Mpgp is still available for the security conscious.
- MPgp seems to suffer from occassional crashing, and is being phased-out in favor of a new key exchange system to be implemented in the next version of mircryption.
