  • Security System for Mobile Messaging Applications Pejman Dashtinejad
    Security System for Mobile Messaging Applications Pejman Dashtinejad Master of Science Thesis Stockholm, Sweden TRITA–ICT–EX-2015:2 Introduction | 1 Security System for Mobile Messaging Applications Pejman Dashtinejad 8 January 2015 Master of Science Thesis Examiner Professor Sead Muftic Department of ICT KTH University SE-100 44 Stockholm, Sweden TRITA–ICT–EX-2015:2 Abstract | iii Abstract Instant messaging (IM) applications are one of the most popular applications for smartphones. The IMs have the capability of sending messages or initiating voice calls via Internet which makes it almost cost free for the users to communicate with each other. Unfortunately, like any other type of applications, majority of these applications are vulnerable to malicious attacks and have privacy issues. The motivation for this thesis is the need to identifying security services of an IM application and to design a secure system for any mobile messaging application. This research proposes an E2EE (End-to-End Encryption) approach which provides a secure IM application design which protects its users with better integrity, confidentiality and privacy. To achieve this goal a research is conducted to investigate current security features of popular messaging applications in the mobile market. A list of requirements for good security is generated and based on those requirements an architecture is designed. A demo is also implemented and evaluated. Keywords: Mobile, Application, messaging, Chat, Encryption, Security Acknowledgments | v Acknowledgments First and foremost, thank you God to give me another chance to complete my higher education and to learn enormous skills and knowledge through all these years of study at the university.

  • Making Gravers by William R
    WEAR YOUR SAFETY GLASSES FORESIGHT IS BETTER THAN NO SIGHT READ INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING Making Gravers By William R. Smith William R. Smith is well known in the field of clock making. He has recently designed a T-rest for the Sherline lathe that makes it possible to hand turn parts using a tool called a “Graver”, which is a common technique in watch- and clock making. This technique is also used in instrument making and modelmaking for turning special shapes like ball ends without having to grind a specially shaped cutter for the job. Mr. Smith’s credentials include a degree in mechanical engineering as well as FBHI (Fellow, British Horological Institute), FNAWCC (Fellow, National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors), CMC (Certified Master Clockmaker), CMW (Certified Master Watchmaker) and CMEW (Certified Master Electronic Watchmaker.). He has published several books and videos on clock making which will be of interest to anyone wishing to learn more about hand turning techniques or about making clocks. CAUTION: Use gravers carefully. Hold work materials with a and ruin them, all sharpening must be done by hand on a collet. Do not use gravers with a 3-jaw or 4-jaw chuck. A graver bench stone or a special wet grinder. which is inadvertently pushed into a spinning chuck jaw can be The gravers to be described here do not suffer this problem. flung from your hands.

THE first edition of this work was published in 1893 and met with an unexpected and unprecedented sale, and a second edition was placed upon the market in less than ten months. So much new matter was added that it was found necessary to reset the entire work in smaller type in order to keep the volume within the price at which it was originally placed on the market.
