Security
Voodoo Chat uses two methods of security. The first is encryption. The second is the use of system hashes.
Voodoo's method of encryption encrypts all transfers of data from the program to increase privacy and deter hackers. So far, according to their website, "none have, and plenty have tried."
Voodoo's client generates a set of system hashes from pieces of serial numbers within the hardware of the users computer. These are gathered as the program starts and are transmitted when the user attempts to log in. The users hashes are checked against the global hash ban list on "The King", then checked against the banned hash list on the specific server they're logging on to. If their system hash matches either ban list, the user is barred from the service.

Famous quotes containing the word security:
“If we could have any security against moods! If the profoundest prophet could be holden to his words, and the hearer who is ready to sell all and join the crusade, could have any certificate that to-morrow his prophet shall not unsay his testimony!”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The horror of class stratification, racism, and prejudice is that some people begin to believe that the security of their families and communities depends on the oppression of others, that for some to have good lives there must be others whose lives are truncated and brutal.”
—Dorothy Allison (b. 1949)
“Our security depends on the Allied Powers winning against aggressors. The Axis Powers intend to destroy democracy, it is anathema to them. We cannot provide that aid if the public are against it; therefore, it is our responsibility to persuade the public that aid to the victims of aggression is aid to American security. I expect the members of my administration to take every opportunity to speak to this issue wherever they are invited to address public forums in the weeks ahead.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
