| Abstract | Nowadays, Short Message Service (SMS) still represents the most used mobile messaging service. SMS messages are used in many different application fields, even in cases where security features, such as authentication and confidentiality between the communicators, must be ensured. Unfortunately, the SMS technology does not provide a built-in support for any security feature. This work presents SEESMS (Secure Extensible and Efficient SMS), a software framework written in Java which allows two peers to exchange encrypted and digitally signed SMS messages. The communication between peers is secured by using public-key cryptography. The key-exchange process is implemented by using a novel and simple security protocol which minimizes the number of SMS messages to use. SEESMS supports the encryption of a communication channel through the ECIES and the RSA algorithms. The identity validation of the contacts involved in the communication is implemented through the RSA, DSA and ECDSA signature schemes. SEESMS is able to certify the phone number of the peers using the framework. Additional cryptosystems can be coded and added to SEESMS as plug-ins. Special attention has been devoted to the implementation of an efficient framework in terms of energy consumption and execution time. This efficiency is obtained in two steps. First, all the cryptosystems available in the framework are implemented using mature and fully optimized cryptographic libraries. Second, an experimental analysis was conducted to determine which combination of cryptosystems and security parameters were able to provide a better trade-off in terms of speed/security and energy consumption. This experimental analysis has also been useful to expose some serious performance issues affecting the cryptographic libraries which are commonly used to implement security features on mobile devices. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
