Designing a User Interface For an End-to-end Secure Messaging System

摘要

The main goal of the report is to develop a user in-terface prototype for an easy-to-use, extendable,end-to-end secure, and privacy-aware web messag-ing application. We investigate cryptography andusability for such an application in the contextof JavaScript and XMPP (Extendable Messagingand Presence Protocol), and develop a set of suit-able high-level software design suggestions allow-ing for private communication. Based on thesesuggestions, we proceed to develop and test theusability of a user interface prototype.
