New promising chat encryption.

SecureChat performs a RSA 2048 with Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding (OAEP) on chat messages with Personal and Public certificates, thus no one can read them, except the participants.

Stay away from this software! It is not safe!

1. It is not open source. There might be intentional backdoors or security flaws from improper coding.
2. Skype with it's obscure code and auto update functionality is one big potential security threat. I advise against ever installing and using Skype on any security critical computer.

This means it gives very questionable security at best case and blatant surveillance backdoor at worst. The truth might be somewhere in between.

Jitsi is great alternative to Skype for every day use. It have OTR encryption for IM chat and ZRTP encryption for voice calls. And it is free and open source.

For both anonymous and encrypted IM the TorChat is the best way to go.
