Users of instant messaging applications are able to send both text and audio messages, different types of attachments such as photos, videos, and contact information to their contacts in real time. Because of instant messaging applications use internet instead of Short Message Service Technical Realization (GSM), they are free to use and they only require internet connection which is the most common way of communication today. The critical point here is providing privacy of these messages in order to prevent any vulnerable points for hackers and cyber criminals. According to the latest research by PricewaterhouseCoopers, percentage of global cyber attacks is increased to 48% with 42.8 million detected incidents. Another report that is published by security company Postini indicates that 90% of instant messaging targeted threats are highly destructive worms. In this study, instant messaging applications encryption methods are comparatively presented. -

Data Source Diversity in Identifying and Understanding Events
BABEL BEACON WORLDWIDE: DATA SOURCE DIVERSITY IN IDENTIFYING AND UNDERSTANDING EVENTS Introduction: As the online data landscape continues to exponentially expand, analysts are increasingly challenged to find where key pieces of information are hiding. Because actionable data can be found anywhere online, it is essential to cast the widest possible net over the vast pool of data sources – globally. It is our observation that many analysts, when analyzing publicly available information (PAI), tend to focus on just a few large social media (SM) platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and/or Twitter. Indeed, these data sources are useful for situational awareness in certain areas around the world. But they, in context, comprise only a small portion of the immense available data within the data universe. So, the appropriate question is: “What other data sources are there, relative to my question, that should be queried?” This Beacon explores the importance of leveraging the variety of global data sets by diving into historical social media posts and analyzing conversations they spawned both within and beyond the original posting site. Babel Street analysts winnowed down data from thousands of social media outlets, blogs and message boards, global news outlets, and the dark web to identify where else these posts were being referenced and by whom, in order to pinpoint relevant and potentially actionable intelligence. BLUF: o Focusing PAI research on only a few large SM platforms severely limits the information analysts can derive about ongoing -

Robison Department of Computer Science, BYU Master of Science Instant messaging is a popular form of communication over the Internet. Statistics show that instant messaging has overtaken email in popularity. Traditionally, instant messaging has consisted of a desktop client communicating with other clients via an instant messaging service provider. However, instant messaging solutions are starting to become available in the web browser{services like Google Talk, Live Messenger and Facebook.
