-Introduction of Seamless Integration of Twitter and Android Application Open in the Google Android Market -

ChaosWare, Inc. (Head: Koganei, Tokyo, Japan, CEO and President: Ken Umeno, Ph.D.) and Nippon Information Development (Head: Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan, CEO and President: Seiji Suzuki) developed a mobile-Web integration service for world　wide users to securely upload their photos and videos together with the associated GPS location information to the web server. This PhotoCipher service for consumers is open today and mobile applications include i-appli for NTT DoCoMo and recently opened Google Android smart phones.

User can automatically and instantaneously tweet their messages with the links to photos and videos together with space-time information taken by GPS function in the mobile phones via SSL secure transmission between user's mobile phone and the Web server without possibility of faked user authentication.

Background

Recently there are many applications and web-services for users to upload their photos by their mobile phones and share among users. Unfortunately, most such applications use e-mail system to attach their photos to send to a unique destination address provided by service providers, so that everyone who happens to know the destination address can upload their photos and videos as if he or she were a true user.. This faked user authentication has been the main security hole for mobile uploading photos. Alternatively, the PhotoCipherTM uses SSL (Secure Socket Layer Protocol) to provide a secure photo uploading platform which makes the internet connection between the mobile phone and Web-server secure and it can erase the possibility of faked authentication in user's uploading.
