Encrypted (SSL) AIM/YIM/ICQ/MSN Discussions

Hello, I'd like to offer sales/support InstantMessenging for my company, but I'd like to SSL my AIM/ICQ/MSN/YIM convos so that clients can give our agents credit card/bank account/etc. info as well as personal info that they are otherwise scared of sharing without a secured connection/conversation.

(Sometimes, a lock alongside your screen name just makes people WARM & HAPPY inside Encrypted (SSL) AIM/YIM/ICQ/MSN Discussions).

The problem is, I have tried http://aimencrypt.com/ but would rather create my own security for the my own protection and on the company's behalf. I would be affraid to use a service provided by some "Doe" to take care of my transactions, etc. I have tested out the (Free) ssl offered by aimencrypt on my personal sn and guess that it works as it should; however, I'd like to be able to get an SSL from an authorized provider and be able to secure my InstantMessengers. Can someone explain how I should do this if I already have an SSL certificate? If I need something besides an SSL certificate please specify what it is I need.

Finally, I was able to SSL my personal AIM client (running on windows) however my "business" (a)IM client is running on linux, called centericq, would I be able to "secure" this client as well? If so.. would somebody explain how? If you have no idea what centericq is, and know how to do this on another linux IM client, please provide information. I'd appreciate it.

Thank You!!!!
