crypted chat

Posted by Reto F. Bachmann on 2000-08-12

hi!

i'd like to implement something like chat / video conference
but would like to crypt it so that a company / user group
can be quite shure that only authorized members of the
company / group can decode it.
question 1: should i use normal tcp/udp and crypt only the
data or should i use something like SSL to transfer data?
question2: is there any source available which addresses this
idea (i dont like to re-invent the wheel...)

any pointers apprechiated
thanks and have a nice day
