The military is still on unencrypted IRC, the dog has already been fucked for years on that one. The economy doesn't really matter, and for any person they deem does matter, they can just tell them under NSLs to use something that DJB made, instead, if they even understand the difference between protocols to begin with.
- robertony 7y agoFrom what I'm aware, the military doesn't use IRC? IRC was inspired from BITNET, which was used by the DoD briefly and not the military as a whole? Military networks are encrypted at the network layer? User authentication is enforced at the session and presentation layers?

- nullc 7y agoUnencrypted IRC (esp on a secure network) sounds like a massive upgrade from what I'd answer if someone here said "Guess what the military just switched to for their secure chat??" (slack or some other commercial hosted web atrocity). :)
