Abstract

The idea behind this project was to develop a simple Secure Message Passing System based on Public Key encryption schemes of ECC and RSA. A Secure Messaging System is used to share information beyond corporate boundaries. Such information is highly sensitive and thus must be kept secret. Advantages of use of Secure Messaging Service over a generic Email service is that no extra software installation and key sharing will be necessary to kept the message safe against any kind of eavesdropping.The
motivation behind the project was the need for a message passing system completely free from any leaks in information.
The System was to be developed on the cloud platform thus harnessing its Software as a Service feature. Google App Engine was chosen for the deployment of the Application.
