  • Patent number: 11159310
    Abstract: A digital security bubble encapsulation is disclosed. A public key and a device identifier of at least one recipient is requested from a first server. A message containing one or more components is encrypted using a symmetric key. The symmetric key is encrypted with a public key received in response to the request. The encrypted message, the encrypted symmetric key, and the device identifier are encapsulated in a digital security bubble encapsulation. The digital security bubble encapsulation is transmitted to a second server.

  • Publication number: 20210144117
    Abstract: Secure directory services are disclosed. A cryptographic hash of a foreign identifier associated with a potential user is received. A determination is made that the received cryptographic hash of the foreign identifier matches a representation of a stored entry. In response to the determination, a transmission of a representation of a native identifier associated with the stored entry is transmitted to the sender of the cryptographic hash of the foreign identifier.

  • Patent number: 10659435
    Abstract: Multi-party messaging is disclosed. A plurality of public keys is requested by a first device from a server, wherein the plurality of public keys is associated with a plurality of recipients. A message containing one or more components is encrypted using a symmetric key. The symmetric key is encrypted, using each of the respective public keys, resulting in a plurality of encrypted symmetric keys. The encrypted message and the encrypted symmetric keys are encapsulated in an encapsulation. The encapsulation is transmitted to the server.

  • Patent number: 10635289
    Abstract: Screen capture mitigation is disclosed. It is conveyed to a user that a received content item can be displayed in response to the user placing at least one finger on a display. A first finger in a first screen area of the display is detected. A second finger in a second screen area of the display is detected. The received content item is displayed in response to detecting the first finger in the first screen area and the second finger in the second screen area. A change in location of at least one of the first finger and the second finger is detected. In response to detecting the change, it is determined whether the change in the at least one of the first finger and the second finger is greater than a threshold. When the change is greater than the threshold, displaying the received content item is ceased.

  • Patent number: 10382197
    Abstract: A first public key associated with a first recipient is requested from a server. The first public key is received, as is an associated first key reference value. The first public key is used in conjunction with securing a first message. The first public key is destroyed. A second public key associated with the first recipient is requested from the server. A second public key and an associated second key reference value are received. The second public key is different from the first public key and the first key reference value is different from the second key reference value. The second public key is used in conjunction with the securing of a second message and the second public key is destroyed.
