I would like to encrypt all private messages with just one person over irc with a password (what we will give each other though secure medium for sure).

I found fish, but it`s only for mirc 6.20 and this can not be downloaded any further.

Any other way to encrypt querys? Extra features like encrypted groupchat would be cool aswell.

To my knowledge:
1) There isn't anything currently that does what you're asking for.
2) If you're unhappy with the security that comes with pm's, then you might want to consider using DCC Chat, which is more secure.
3) With pm's your messages still go through the server, but with DCC's, only the initial connect (and disconnect) messages are sent to the server. Other than that, the message bypass the IRC server completely.
4) Encrypted groupchat almost sounds like an oxymoron, since everyone in the group would need to have the key to decrypt the messages.

If you want secure communication use SILC!
