Instant messaging (IM) is an increasingly popular mode of communication
|
||||||
|
on the Internet. Although it is used for personal and private
|
||||||
|
conversations, it is not at all a private medium. Not only are all of
|
||||||
|
the messages unencrypted and unauthenticated, but they are all
|
||||||
|
routedthrough a central server, forming a convenient interception point
|
||||||
|
for an attacker. Users would benefit from being able to have truly
|
||||||
|
private conversations over IM, combining the features of encryption,
|
||||||
|
authentication, deniability, and forward secrecy, while working within
|
||||||
|
their existing IM infrastructure.

In this talk, I will discuss "Off-the-Record Messaging" (OTR), a widely
|
||||||
|
used software tool for secure and private instant messaging. I will
|
||||||
|
outline the properties of Useful Security and Privacy Technologies that
|
||||||
|
motivated OTR's design, compare it to other IM security mechanisms, and
|
||||||
|
talk about its ongoing development directions.

Ian Goldberg is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the
|
||||||
|
University of Waterloo, where he is a founding member of the
|
||||||
|
Cryptography, Security, and Privacy (CrySP) research group. He holds a
|
||||||
|
Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, where he discovered
|
||||||
|
serious weaknesses in a number of widely deployed security systems,
|
||||||
|
including those used by cellular phones and wireless networks. He also
|
||||||
|
studied systems for protecting the personal privacy of Internet users,
|
||||||
|
which led to his role as Chief Scientist at Zero-Knowledge Systems (now
|
||||||
|
known as Radialpoint), where he commercialized his research as the
|
||||||
|
Freedom Network.
