I'm trying to figure out the security characteristics of iChat. Could someone help me know if I have the following right or wrong?
Text chat using AIM credentials travels over SSL. However, content goes through AOL servers and could be viewed there. Shouldn't be considered in any way secure.
Video/Audio chat using AIM credentials actually sets up a point to point connection between users. This is done in the clear?
Two paid MobileMe accounts can choose to conference securely. Users are issued MobleMe certs and all communication is encrypted end to end: text, audio, and video.
If using a secure Jabber server (such as the NASA Jabber server), text chat is secure end to end (would be visible on server, but assuming trusted operator).
Video or audio chats initiated through a secure jabber server are again point to point and in the clear? Is there any way to use local PKI to secure to connection?
