Instant messaging is fundamental to various mobile Internet applications; however, it is still an open problem to implement secure instant messaging in untrusted Internet environment. An approach for secure instant messaging of mobile intelligent terminal was presented, and a protocol for Trusted Session Key Agreement (TSKA) was designed and implemented. Theoretical analysis shows that the proposed TSKA can ensure the authenticity, freshness and confidentiality of the negotiated session key, even in the condition that both of the instant messaging server and the communication channel are not trusted. After TSKA, instant audio/video messages can be sent to the other side in a confidential and complete way. Experimental results in real Internet environment show that the proposed approach is efficient and secure, the session key can be negotiated within 1-2 seconds, and attackers cannot obtain any plaintext of instant messages.
