SILC is a protocol which allows you to chat using strongly encrypted connections and secure authentication mechanisms. In other words, SILC is a secure IRC variant. Thanks to Irssi's modularity it is rather easy to extend the SILC client with an additional protocol handler. Even better, the protocol can be compiled as a module and loaded during runtime in a "normal" Irssi client. SILC plugin is just a bunch of Makefiles taking the SILC client's source and compiling the protocol handler as a module.
