An individual’s right to privacy is a very important topic of discussion. People put their trust in companies to use their data responsibly; but we hear more and more often of data breaches, malicious practices, and security vulnerabilities leaving millions of people vulnerable to identity theft, if not worse. It has become abundantly clear that users of digital services must take steps to secure their personal data themselves. In this project, we discuss the vulnerability in security models that require the user to trust the service and contrast them with models that require the user to administer the security policy themselves. We present Apple’s AirDrop as a so-called zero configuration system and an alternative that provides a much greater degree of security as proposed by researchers. We then propose an alternative to both, which we implement in the form of an Android app. This alternative ensures both security and anonymity, while requiring minimal effort on the part of the user to set up. Finally, we discuss further applications of the implementation in other contexts.
