Line 1: Line 1:
-**The Conglomerate** (**conglomerate.com**) is a chat beacon - a server that lets people connect to each other peer to peer. Effectively,​ this means that apart from the initial handshake, none of the chatting is ever //done// on The Conglomerate,​ unless expressly consented to by both parties for logging purposes. 
  
-It's considered a decently secure way to have private conversations,​ especially since the chat protocol itself is encrypted - but it still runs on software supplied to client machines by The Conglomerate server and thus requires some degree of trust in that none of it is rerouted. 
- 
-(True security would have to run deeper and be realised through software inherently available and audited on client machines.)

-Conglomerate '​keys'​ are simply connection components. They don't factor into the encryption, but they allow initial connection to a room by identifying the chatroom. They can be used providing the room itself hasn't completely detached from the Conglomerate server (by being declared '​full'​). 
- 
-Note that this doesn'​t invalidate the claim that none of the chat data ever goes over the server - but the server //will// maintain a list of connections per room as long as it hasn't expressly been told to detach and butt out. In that sense, it purely serves as a connection pool and as a provider of the (volatile) software needed to run Conglomerate chats.
