How does Campfire keep our chats secure?

Your connection to Campfire is encrypted with 256-bit encryption. The connection uses TLS 1.0.

All Campfire accounts are password protected for your security — the only people who can view or talk in chats are people you’ve invited.

SSL stands for Secure Socket Layer, but what it really means is that the data sent between Campfire and your computer is safely encrypted from prying eyes. It’s the same technology that online banks and e-commerce sites use to keep your credit card information safe.
