What are Encrypted Communication Channels and does G.A.L. provide tools to use them?
G.A.L. uses encrypted communication channels to protect the information transfer to specific sites on the Internet. Most likely, you are familiar with one of these technologies used in Web Browsing and e-commerce transactions- Secure Socket Layer (SSL aka https). SSL also powers the featured Virtual Private Network technology, OpenVPN. Other technologies based on OpenSSH, provide encrypted tunnels and Virtual Private Networks as well. G.A.L. allows the use of Zfone, from Phil Zimmerman Labs, to protect VoIP communications. Using ScatterChat or GAIM/Off-the-Record (OTR) your Instant Messages create encrypted channels to prevent outside viewing of your IM conversations while using G.A.L.
