Channel Keys

These are AES128 encryption keys for your communication. The messages are appended with a checksum, so if you are on "channel" 0000000000000000 (the DEFAULT key setting), and another person is on PemHB6UGFHBXNLMw (a random key), then the checksum won't match, and so the message will not be displayed. (In fact, it won't even be decrypted correctly.)

the DEFAULT key is 0000000000000000 the RANDOM setting is 16 ASCII chars or you can enter 16 of your own.

IF YOU USE A RANDOM KEY, WRITE DOWN THE KEY AS IT WILL NOT BE DISPLAYED AGAIN!!
