About BetweenUs
===============
BetweenUs is a real-time chat and instant messaging
program for individual and corporate users who want to
keep sensitive information away from prying eyes. The
strongest encryption algorithms used in BetweenUs
ensure uncompromising privacy that no other chat tool
can offer today. A user-friendly customizable interface
and convenient online directory service provide an
excellent environment for zip-fast secure
communication, file transfers, instant messaging, and
private conferencing with your associates and friends 
on the Internet or a LAN.

BetweenUs can be configured to work in three different
encryption modes: public-key mode (uses 3072-bit
Diffie-Hellman key-exchange protocol), symmetric mode
(uses a secret passphrase), and PGP-compatible mode
(uses existing Pretty Good Privacy keys). All the
messages and files are encrypted using the most
reliable and proven ciphers that have resisted any form
of cryptanalysis by the best mathematicians in the
world: CAST (128-bit key), Triple DES (168-bit key), or
Blowfish (448-bit key).

The source code of the program was reviewed by
independent security analysts in April 1999 and no
security flaws were found. BetweenUs was developed and
compiled outside of the USA, and has no back doors or
escrow keys and is not subject to US export
restrictions.

Even if you are not concerned about privacy and security, 
BetweenUs is an excellent choice for text chat and instant 
messaging for two or several people who don't want to 
hassle with public servers and chat rooms. Familiar 
IRC-like chat window and ICQ-like system tray operation 
were designed to get you started quickly and to let you 
enjoy what communication programs are made for: communication!
