Instant Messaging (IM) is becoming more and more popular and ubiquitous as it is accessible via mobile devices. However, many existing IM applications do not provide much
security. This is a serious limitations of IM systems especially when IM is being used in the workplace as a communications
tool. In this paper, we present the different security vulnerabilities associated with communication using IM, as well as the security provided in some IM applications. Finally, we describe the design and implementation of a simple secure
lightweight application for secure messaging and file transfer.
