Self-Destructing Messages Using Layered Encryption for Mobile Devices
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Communication through SMS is very popular now-a-days and it is cheap, fast and simple. However, when confidential information is exchanged using SMS, it is very difficult to protect the information from SMS security threats like man-in-middle attack and eavesdropping. Most of the times, these threats are difficult to detect and therefore increasing the security of SMS communication is the only way to avoid such threats. Earlier messaging security was generally provided through single encryption mechanism but this mechanism is not sufficient to encrypt a file (i.e. audio, video, text and image). Also, there were no systems that would double encrypt a file in a single system in SMS communication. We propose self-destructing messages using layered encryption, an enhanced messaging architecture equipped with self-destructing feature and double encryption of a file in a mobile environment. Senders will be able to set location and time constraints for their messages. The constraints will determine where and when the sent messages are decrypted. The paper presents a design for Android platform application and is equipped with three modes for sending the messages, namely- Insecure, Secure and Ultra Secure.
