  • Patent number: 9712512
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for secure messaging and content sharing. In one implementation, a processor receives a content item in a first format, the content item being associated with an intended recipient, converts the content item into a second format, provides the content item, as converted into the second format, to a device associated with the intended recipient, receives, from the device associated with the intended recipient, one or more inputs in relation to a segment of the content item, processes the one or more inputs to determine that an authentication action is being performed with respect to the segment of the content item, and based on a determination that the authentication action is being performed with respect to the segment of the content item, provides an instruction to present the segment of the content item at the device associated with the intended recipient.

  • Patent number: 9648001
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for secure messaging and content sharing. In one implementation, a processor receives a message associated with a recipient, provides, to the recipient, a notification pertaining to the message, and, based on a determination of a performance of one or more authentication actions with respect to the message, provides the recipient with access to the message. In another implementation, a processor receives a message including one or more content segments, receives inputs in relation to at least one of the content segments, processes the inputs to determine that an authentication action is being performed with respect to the one of the one or more content segments, and based on a determination that the authentication action is being performed with respect to the one of the one or more content segments, presents the at least one of the one or more content segments.
