Abstract: Existing group communication technologies do not aim at addressing security concerns in environments where non-tech-savvy end-users decide security configurations. This document provides an answer to the following question: how to realize an intuitive and end-user configurable secure group communication mechanism? We introduce a group communication service called Group Messaging Web Service (GMWS). Clients access GMWS using a range of devices like mobile devices, personal computers, and web-connected printers. GMWS facilitates seamless device-group communications in a secure and transparent manner. GMWS will enable speedy creation of many rich user experiences involving multiple users and devices such as web-enabled mobile devices.
