  Abstract

As computers and networks become popular, distributing information on the Internet is common in our daily life. In the past, e-mail has been the primary choice of exchanging information, but instant messengers are gaining popularity abroad and domestically because of their nature of getting immediate responses. Most of existing instant messengers don't have any protection on the transmitted information, endangering the privacy of the users. As a counter measure, instant messengers need to provide security service including message encryption. In this paper, we designed a secure instant messenger with encryption capability. Our secure instant messenger solves the security problem by encrypting private information, which individual users send to the instant messenger server, and messages, which are exchanged among users. Another important design goal is the user transparency.
