Is Instant Messaging secure?
Live Communication Server supports 2 Client connection methods, the first method uses TCP which sends packets as unencrypted clear text over a network. The second method you can use is TLS which provides an encryption path between the client and the home server (using certificates). This however does not guarantee end to end encryption between sender and receiver as the path between the receiver and their home server could be configured to use TCP. So Live Communication Server provides the provision for secure Communications but it depends on the clients configuration at both ends to ensure a secure message path between sender and receiver.
