Abstract Many of us use the Internet for private communications, both personal and business-related. However, with recent security revelations, many people are beginning to question how private their so-called private conversations truly are. In response to this problem, I designed Rednet, a security framework for communications of any type over the Internet. For demonstration, I implemented a subset of my design as a Windows application.
