Enhancement of a Secured Instant Messenger and Message Broadcasting with Voice

Abstract

Instant Messaging (IM) is a useful communication and work collaboration tool between individuals, groups, or enterprises. Unfortunately, most IM systems lack the needed security mechanism capable of ensuring the secure communications of IM client-client and IM client-server. In order to find a solution to secure IM communications, Secure Instant Messaging and Presence Protocol (SIMPP) was designed and implemented so as to allow users to chat through plain text and also voice call. Open source jabberd software was revised to create a SIMPP server that can work on any operation system platform.
