FiSH-irssi
An encryption add-on module for irssi using Blowfish cipher and Diffie-Hellman key exchange for secure messaging.
What is FiSH-irssi?
FiSH-irssi is an open-source encryption module for the irssi IRC client that adds Blowfish-based encryption to private and public messages. It solves the problem of insecure IRC communications by providing cryptographic protection against eavesdropping, using both manual key entry and automated Diffie-Hellman key exchange.
IRC users, particularly those using the irssi client who require secure, encrypted communications for private chats or sensitive channel discussions.
Developers choose FiSH-irssi because it integrates seamlessly into irssi with minimal configuration, offers proven Blowfish encryption with multiple modes, and includes secure key exchange—all while maintaining the lightweight, terminal-based workflow irssi users expect.
