| Abstract | In this project we overview development of human communication methods and their transition into digital communication era, from an information security standpoint. We argue that individuals are incompetent at deriving trust in digital communications, in part because of complicated cryptographic systems,
as well as a lack of Public-Key Infrastructures. We reason for shifting cryptographic key management responsibilities from individuals to application developers. Further, we propose a Public-Key Infrastructure hosted on SMS channel and define Application Programming Interface to provide a necessary infrastructure required for developers to overtake certificate management. |
