Abstract:
This paper describes design and implementation issues concerning the construction of a cryptographically secure instant message service for Android devices along with its underlying cryptographic library. The paper starts by discussing security requirements for instant message applications, and proceeds to the architecture of cryptographic components and selection of cryptographic services. Concerning this last point, two sets of services were implemented: one based only on standardized algorithms and other based solely on non-standard cryptography.
