Assessing Security of Encrypted Messaging Applications (ASEMA)
AI Overview
A comprehensive security assessment framework for secure messaging applications (SMAs) to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities in cryptographic protocols and software architectures. The research aims to develop actionable tools and models that enable developers and users to understand and defend against emerging threats in encrypted mobile communication platforms.
This summary is AI-generated from the official solicitation.
Key Details
Official Description
SMAs are a class of applications running on mobile devices which are increasingly targeted by malicious attackers, such as APT groups. Not only do they transmit private communications that the user believes to be secure, but SMAs can reduce the security of the mobile device itself: unlike most mobile applications, an attacker only needs a phone number or username to communicate directly with the SMA. The SMAs in wide use today all share similar cryptographic protocols, software architectures and...
