TLS ... The Way the Truth the Light

TLS (commonly known as SSL) is really probably the answer to your problems. Much easier than Kerberos to implement, you should be able to use some of the SSL capabilities in Java to run your chat discussions over SSL.

Generally speaking, whatever protocol you're using between the clientsand server would simply get passed over SSL... pretty simple.

(Sorry no reply sooner... haven't been 'round much lately!)
