BlowSearch Secure Messenger (like Trillian with encryption)


Tags :


I came across a small article on BlowSearch, which is a metasearch engine, that mentioned it multiple IM service client.  As we know I take great interest in that.  So I read up on it and thought you might find it interesting.  I am thinking about testing it some.

  • Strong industry leading security. Up to an unmatched 4,096 bit encryption technology.
  • Extensive privacy settings and block list abilities.
  • Create private conference rooms.
  • Integrated web search technology from BlowSearch.
  • Customizable sounds and notifications.
  • Full message logging capabilities including export of conversations.
  • File transfer capabilities between users.
  • User profiles, public or private. You control your information.
  • Chat rooms galore. All categories with admin capabilities.
  • Tabbed interface allows for easy access to launching desktop applications.
  • Updated scrolling news and information.
That was a general list with the most important being the encryption.  If both sides are using their BSM client, then each message is secured in the following manner
Blowsearch Secured Messenger utilizes the OpenSSL library to provide encryption routines for your Instant Messages. We use a combination of randomly selected schemes and bit lengths, ranging up to 4096 bits, with additional algorithms added in to make your messages even more secure. We start with an RSA foundation and move out from there.

So I am downloading and playing with it some.  Anyone want to test?
