I would advise looking at “Off-the-Record” (OTM) and especially the
paper that explains why they think OpenPGP isn’t well suited for instant
messaging:
http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/
There’s an unofficial Bitlbee branch that adds support for OTR:
http://khjk.org/bitlbee-otr/
http://bugs.bitlbee.org/bitlbee/ticket/115
Adding OTM support into ERC proper would be better since it would make
it usable on IRC as well. Any takers? :-)
Thanks,
Ludo’.
