Justabill and I have played around with a PGP irc client that plugs into mirc. It works REALLY damn good with Private keys for personal chat as well as channel keys. When you launch, you enter your master phrase than then you're live with the channel.
Key updates, exchanges and such are all done with crypto. If you arn't key'd, you get a ton of garbage onscreen (yes, I know, hard to distinguish between that and normal Irc speak). Channel topics can also be crypto'd as well.
I think if you google for PGP mirc you'll find the module. Just need to get some compatable plug ins for other clients and OS's.

This might be a good thing to try out on #dc-forums...the drawback would be that a good percentage of the people don't use mIRC and some of their clients wouldn't work, but something to the equivilent might be good.

Another drawback is that 3/4 of the people in there couldn't spell encryption...let alone use it.
