Does SILC support DCC or alike?

SILC does not support the DCC commonly used in IRC. It does not need it since it has builtin support for same features that DCC have. You can transfer files securely and encrypted directly with another client. You can also negotiate secret key material with another client directly to use it in private message encryption. The private messages are not, however sent directly between clients. The protocol, on the other hand does not prohibit sending messages directly between clients if the implementation would support it. The current SILC Client implementation does not support it. This means that private messages travel through the SILC Network. SILC protocol also has a capability to support DCC and CTCP like protocols with SILC. However, none of them has been defined to be used with SILC at the present time. ... more
