For secure online conferences you can use the Secure Internet Live Conferencing protocol, better known by its abbreviation SILC. The design is focused from the outset to create a secure environment and includes many capabilities of irc and im protocols. Support for multimedia messages is available and it can also be used for video and audio conferencing. As the name suggests, SILC Server is a server application for setting up a SILC environment. The developers have released version 1.1 with the following announcement:

SILC Server 1.1 Released

Enjoy the new SILC Server 1.1 release. The 1.1 server is based on the new SILC Toolkit 1.1 released earlier this year. The server contains only few new features such as HTTP statistics backend and dynamic router connections. Main new features come from the new Toolkit which include among others vastly improved packet processing engine which should improve server performance. The 1.1 server also contains partial support for the upcoming SILC protocol version 1.3.

Most of the planned features for 1.1 server were dropped and opted to be included in the upcoming 1.2 server. The 1.2 server will be a complete rewrite just like SILC Client 1.1 was earlier this year.

A precompiled RPM is also available from the website. The RPM spec file is also included in the source package so you may build your own RPM package if wanted.
