Does SILC support anonymity?

0

424 A: The protocol has a user mode which indicates that user is anonymous 425 user. The user cannot set or unset the mode itself, but a server which 426 provides these anonymous chatting services can set the mode for the 427 user that connects to the server. User that has the mode set has their 428 username and hostname information scrambled. There are other ways of 429 making anonymity in SILC but they all are implementational methods, 430 and protocol does not handle those methods.
