Chevalier Encryption Keyboard HUD (The Encryption HUD) Only L$400 Lindens for 2.

If you have been inworld for very long, you know by now that there simply isn’t enough privacy in Second Life, and chat bug scanners can only detects tiny primitives (often called tortured- zero mass prims) or scripted devices. While useful, these can cause many false alarms. Sometimes what you have to say needs to be kept quiet. Worse yet talking on different channels does not guard you because of channel scanning scripts.

The Solution: The Chevalier’s Encryption HUD

Chevalier Encryption Keyboard HUD

What You Get: The Chevalier Encoder HUDS come in packs of 2, 5, 10 and 20. One for you and one for whomever you want to chat with securely, each avatar is required to have one to be able to join the chat.

How it works: The HUD, or heads up display, includes an on-screen keyboard, which you attach from inventory. It will attach itself to the top center location of your screen, which of course, you can change as you do you other HUD’s, and place it somewhere other than the top center.

To use the Encryption Keyboard HUD click the “Menu” button and select “New Chat” or “Add To Chat” from the dialog that pops up, you will be given a list of avatars in range (96 Meters), then select the avatar with whom you wish to speak to (or add to an existing session) in encrypted form and a notice is sent to their HUD, which they must be wearing. A random pass-code is generated and swapped between HUD’s, and then you can safely communicate with that avatar or avatars.

You may also choose a pre-determined pass phrase that everybody wearing the Chevalier Encryption HUD knows, by keying in the group pass phrase and clicking the “Set Pass” button, and everyone can talk in group chat- encrypted.

Communication works Sim wide once pass-codes/phrases are swapped and chat begins.

NOTE: This version of the HUD uses simple encryption so while no other avatars can read it, the text is still visible to Linden Labs. It is also notable that the keying in of information is slow using the screen keyboard; you can also enable a chat channel to speed up encoded chatting, although this is not as secure. A high numbered random channel is selected each time you enable this feature, but using presets can help, and the look of the faces of the enemy is priceless.

Instructions for Card: No card configuration required.

Features / Uses:

  • Easy to use encryption.

  • Team use
  • Guaranteed privacy from eavesdroppers.
  • Preset phrases let a team or army communicate quickly to evade channel scanning (Sim wide communication).
  • Escorts may use it with clients and even up sell.
  • The text is visible to only those with a key so it will look “garbled” to anyone else- totally unreadable.

The Lore Behind The Product:

During the battle of the Arden Forest against the forces of the Dark Road, Fiona Chevalier and Corwin Chevalier where cut off from the main body of the force and in dire need of rescue. The odds were grim and back luck turned their way when Fiona accidentally swung her mace wide and struck Corwin on the head.

The blow to the head caused Corwin to lapse into High Chevalian, a little used and archaic form of their home language, however the veteran troops understood and they were able to push back the forces of chaos and meet up with the main group unscathed.

After some study Bleys Chevalier, High Wizard of Mason Du Chevalier, determined the foe had developed a “Far Listen” incantation that allowed them to hear the Grand Master Knight’s commands. When Corwin lapsed into the archaic form of High Chevalian they no longer had the tactical advantage and were beaten back.

Since then the Grand Masters of the Chevaliers have been at work on a device that allows them to speak to each other in an encoded language known only to the initiated.
