So I couldn't figure out the rc4 encryption, but what I think would be morse secure is the rednet tunnel api.
But I need to know how to privately message someone using the tunnel api
Can anyone help? :)/>

What exactly do you need help with? He provides you with all the functions and events that the API provides.

I need help knowing what functions I need to call in order to send & receive. My modem is on the top if it matters, but I need one computer to send and one to receive.
Also: I am sending text to certain computer IDs.

I've never used the API, therefore I can't be sure. However, it appears to me that you'll want to use installTunnelAsModem(realModem, connectionID, sideName) in order to create a fake secure modem and then use the functions it provides.
