COMPUTING RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK [March 23-30, 2012]
SafeSlinger
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University's CyLab developed SafeSlinger to enable users to safely and securely exchange messages. SafeSlinger makes sending secure messages easy. Just keep your passphrase a secret, and only you and the other party can read messages. Messages cannot be read by your cellular carrier, Internet-provider, employer, or anyone else.
SafeSlinger, a system leveraging the proliferation of smartphones to enable people to securely and privately exchange their public keys. Through the exchanged authentic public key, SafeSlinger establishes a secure channel offering secrecy and authenticity, to support secure messaging and file exchange.
