Is there any chat service that is 100% secure, and encrypted chat that no government can track ?

BitMail ! it's an open-source decentralized and encrypted email client for the Windows operating system.

http://sourceforge.net/p/bitmail/code/HEAD/tree/branches/BitMail.06.2088_2013-11-03/BitMail/

Not sure why they need GeoIP libaries, but that sounds fishy to me. No reason to know my country if you want to provide secure p2p mail / chat.

Also from a quick review of the code it seems that the autor didnt disable vulnerable hardware features.

http://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gcrypt/Hardware-features.html#Hardware-features


Wouldnt use that until someone who knows more about crypto checked it completly

Thanks for checking it out.

Skype one to one chat (both voice and text) used to be encrypted from end to end, but I am not sure about the current situation after they bought by Microsoft.

Pretty sure NSA has backdoors into it as well.

Yeah. In the video he mentions that if a company refuses to give access then they literally hack the site.

no service is 100% secure, but i suggest cryptocat: https://crypto.cat
it uses otr and works in the browser so it's very easy to use.

Dont use cryptocat, its broken. Broken as in they made a billion mistakes, trying to implement otr properly.

Sorry I didnt reply to this earlier, had a lot of stuff to do.

About 5 years ago I was using SILC but the devs seem to have abandoned the project—which is a shame. It resembled IRC too much for my liking but I'm sure it would have been a success if only they could have made it decentralised.

netcat+SSH+Tor is the quick & dirty option.

I am working on a secure communication platform where you connect directly to your intended recipient. Oddly, it was my garage door that inspired me.

It will have many fail-safe features and I will try to make some sort of interception detection. I intend for it to be used over Tor or Freenet, but could even work on the regular internet, and I intend for it to be secure enough to even be able to transmit your messages in plain speaking, over the radio, etc.

Because transmitting encrypted messages over Ham Radio is not allowed by the FCC I will have to think on some legal work arounds.

Bittorrent Chat seems promising.
Its decentralized, so there is no central server where all your conversations stay for anyone to grab.
Its still under development though, so we'll see..

Interesting. This a good software because it does not reach any main server. It only reaches the person you want to talk to.

Thanks for the reply. Was just wondering. Im not going to use this too much. I just watched a ted talk about NSA and how they track people and if a company doesnt comply, they hack them.

What talk was that. You got a link?

http://youtu.be/9CqVYUOjHLw

Thanks. Watching now.

It is probably one of the most interesting videos of all time!

Well I wouldn't go that far, but it's an interesting video, but nothing I didn’t already know, but it's a good video to show to people who don't.

There arent many presentations I get interested into. I only have been really interested in 3 talks. This, "How I held my breath for 17 minutes", and a talk about black holes in a observatory.

I've seen a few great talks on there. Seen a few shit ones though as well. My favourite rapper Akala has done a couple. Not sure whether you'd be interested but I recommend them regardless.

have to say thanks for that link. That was a great talk. I will defiantly use this to show some of my layman friends.

Just an all round great little intro. Thanks Wink

No problem. There are more by him. If you look at his personal site there is another one that he did.

Hi, first post here. I'm glad to see there are some interesting topics at hand! I've been wondering about this kind of thing for a while (and with recent "for your own good" activities making news as of late, who isn't?) But I haven't have a chance to look up (or cook up) anything yet. So thanks for the links - Cryptocat in particular looks like a good solution for times you don't need something more involved (OTPs) or for corresponding with people who are less tech-savvy.   Cheesy
