Bastian Hafer (Uni Bonn)

Monday, 7 July 2014, 17:00, b-it 2.1

Back in the days, when mobile phones have not been sophisticated computers, providing encryption for phone calls was not an easy task. One had to rely on dedicated devices performing the encryption. Since the second generation of mobile networks we have mobile access to the internet and huge computation power on the phones themselfs. Apps can make use of the power of the devices to enhance their functions. This is a chance to provide end-to-end encryption for the average user who is in possession of a smartphone. This talk will present an app for the mobile operating system iOS that provides an encrypted and authenticated end-to-end connection between two iPhone smartphones.
