'''ChatterNet''' is a communications network that once played a vital role in everyday [[human]] life, but has seen diminished use by the 2550s. By [[2558]], some thought of ChatterNet services as something one would expect to see in prevalent use fifty years ago. "ChatterNet" usually refers to a network localized to a specific world, but it can also be applied to all the networked information stored across all of them that exist. ChatterNet is considered very secure, when compared to similar tools such as [[Waypoint]]. It is often used by individuals wishing to keep their activities clandestine. For this reason, one of its primary uses concerns the making and tracking of financial transactions.<ref>'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''', ''[[Sadie's Story]]''</ref> As secure as it is, however, it is not impregnable. Experienced hackers regularly break into chatter lines through a process called "ghosting," permitting them to spy on the activities of users or to steal their identities without attracting attention. Such a breach of protocol is highly illegal. The ChatterNet at-large is maintained and policed by the [[Chatter Protocol Authority]]. | '''ChatterNet''' is a communications network that once played a vital role in everyday [[human]] life, but has seen diminished use by the 2550s.

Named for the large communications network, a '''chatter''' is a small computer, typically worn on the wrist.<ref name="audiolog">'''Halo 3: ODST''', ''Audio Log 3, Circle 1, Arc 3''</ref> Chatters can access the ChatterNet and also contact other chatters and their users, as well as keep calendars and store files.
