[Crypto-chi] secure open source IM/Video/Fone client Tox

[brian]

The software is still a work in progress, but, looks solid and thus I'm
very interested in how it will turn out. If anyone wants to test Tox out
I can set-up a client this week and test with you.

Some links for the mentioned encryption in Tox:

Curve25519 by D.J. Bernstein: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve25519
Salsa20 by D.J. Bernstein: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salsa20
Poly1305 by D.J. Bernstein: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poly1305-AES

Also, if you're wondering who this D.J. Bernstein guy is:
