Title: Secure Document Scanning
--------------------------------------

Contact: Dr. Ir. Hugo Jonker

Description:
------------
With the rise of scan-to-email, it has become far more userfriendly to
scan sensitive documents (passports, personal reports, etc.) for ease of
use, and keep them electronically. However, the improved accessibility
threatens the sensitive nature of such documents.

The goal of this project is to implement a system, whereby the documents
are automatically encrypted *before* becoming available on a public
network. The encryption is to be made "invisible" to the proper
recipient (e.g., by means of a decryption plug-in for his mail program).

An initial trial setting consists of a stand-alone document scanner that
provides blue-tooth connectivity. The implementation would run on an
Android phone. The system involves key generation for unknown devices, a
scan-to-encrypt app and a viewing app (e.g. Android app, or Thunderbird
plugin) that seamlessly decrypts encrypted scans (requiring no user
input).

Time permitting, the student will investigate how to extend this result
to a typical network-connected office scanner (which requires key
generation, key storing, and encryption running on the scanner).

Requirements:
-------------
	- Familiarity with Android programming
	- Introduction to IT security (or an equivalent awareness of
	  cryptography)
