    Online Instant Messaging: Keeping Your Child Safe and Secure Presented by: Meredith Stannard, Nauset Regional High School [email protected] Barbara Dominic, Nauset Regional Middle School [email protected] Kathy Schrock, Nauset Public Schools [email protected] Spring 2003 1 Instant messages are lasting ©2001. USA Today. http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2001-06-21-teens-im-lasting.htm By Karen Thomas, USA TODAY Breaking up. Making up. Making plans. Asking out. Saying "hey." From the mundane to the emotionally charged, there are no limits to the ways today's kids connect and bond over instant messages (IMs) — those pop-up text windows used for carrying on real-time conversations online. "It's not just empty chatter. They're using (IMs) to have difficult conversations — someone's talking behind your back and you want to confront them," says Amanda Lenhart of the Pew Internet & American Life project. Its survey, out Thursday, finds that nearly three-fourths of online kids ages 12 to 17 rely on IMs to keep in touch with friends. Caroline Barker, 16, is among 35% of teens who use IMs daily; she chats with about 10 close friends and 50 acquaintances in the Bethesda, Md., area. "It's especially good for making plans, or if you're just bored," she says. "It's a given that everybody has it," adds her friend Valerie Hutchins, 15. These Maryland friends IM while doing homework, talking on the phone and watching TV. And they offer insight to the complex social rules that come with a form of communication that still has many adults bewildered.

  • Openfire Service Level Agreement
    Service Level Agreement Technical Services — Communications Service University Technology Services 1. Overview This Service Level Agreement (SLA) is between University Technology Services (UTS) and either departments or groups choosing to utilize the internal Oakland University instant messaging (OUIM) service. The OUIM service is currently referenced by talk.oakland.edu and runs XMPP/Jabber software called Openfire. Under this SLA, UTS agrees to provide specific information technology (IT) services. This SLA also covers performance and reliability targets and objectives. Section 7 requires the signature and contact information of the group coordinator as an agreement to the SLA. OUIM is an online service that is available on campus and off campus. The requirements to utilize the service are a NetID, an XMPP client, and an Internet connection. XMPP clients are available online. The UTS Helpdesk supports the XMPP clients Spark, Pidgin, and Adium. Instructions are available on the UTS Web site at http://www.oakland.edu/?id=13849&sid=70. 2. Purpose The purpose of this SLA is to establish a cooperative partnership between UTS staff members with the community of customers who may opt into its use by clarifying roles, setting expectations, and providing service objectives and limitations. 3. Terms of Agreement This service is provided on an ongoing basis. From time to time, it may be reviewed and modified by UTS. Modifications to this agreement will be done at the sole discretion of UTS and the Technical Support and Services team (TSS). 4. Service Hours Regularly scheduled maintenance will be scheduled during low-use hours as much as possible; such work will be done either before 8:00 A.M.

  • Is Bob Sending Mixed Signals?
    Is Bob Sending Mixed Signals? Michael Schliep Ian Kariniemi Nicholas Hopper University of Minnesota University of Minnesota University of Minnesota [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT Demand for end-to-end secure messaging has been growing rapidly and companies have responded by releasing applications that imple- ment end-to-end secure messaging protocols. Signal and protocols based on Signal dominate the secure messaging applications. In this work we analyze conversational security properties provided by the Signal Android application against a variety of real world ad- versaries. We identify vulnerabilities that allow the Signal server to learn the contents of attachments, undetectably re-order and drop messages, and add and drop participants from group conversations. We then perform proof-of-concept attacks against the application to demonstrate the practicality of these vulnerabilities, and suggest mitigations that can detect our attacks. The main conclusion of our work is that we need to consider more than confidentiality and integrity of messages when designing future protocols. We also stress that protocols must protect against compromised servers and at a minimum implement a trust but verify model. 1 INTRODUCTION (a) Alice’s view of the conversa-(b) Bob’s view of the conversa- Recently many software developers and companies have been inte- tion. tion. grating end-to-end encrypted messaging protocols into their chat applications.
