bot.start

• Simple transparent message encryption for your Cinch IRC bot.
• Nicks with personal keys are updated on nick change.
• Ignore incoming encrypted messages from specific channels or users.
• Allow unencrypted messages to specific channels or users.
• Drop messages if target key not found.
• Ability to define default encryption key.
• Keys and options stored in yaml.

None. You should write your own plugin to add or remove keys, tailored to your particular needs.

A hash of encryption targets and their corresponding encryption keys. Targets should all be lowercase. :default can provide a general purpose key, possibly good for private communications with the bot or ensuring it does not respond unencrypted.

An array of channels and individuals from which the bot will not encrypt messages. All entries must be lowercase. :uncrypted is optional.

An array of channels and individuals (other bots?) to ignore encrypted messages. All entries must be lower case. Note that it will not drop messages sent from the bot. :ignore is optional.

Boolean value indicating if unencrypted messages should be dropped. Targets in the :uncrypted array are not affected. Unnecessary if a :default key is set.

Options are now stored in yaml. The default location is 'keys/encinch.yml'. Supply an alternate location if you so desire. Location will be created if it does not exist.

1. key exchange
2. user feedback... :-)
