  • Patent number: 9083529
    Abstract: Multi-party messaging is disclosed. A plurality of public keys is requested from a first 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 a second server.

  • Patent number: 8707454
    Abstract: Multi-party messaging is disclosed. An encapsulation is received from a first client. The received encapsulation encapsulates an encrypted message encrypted using a symmetric key, and a plurality of keys. Each key in the plurality of keys comprises the symmetric key as encrypted with a respective public key of a respective recipient. An account associated with each of the respective recipients is determined. For each of the respective recipients, a flag is set that is indicative of the arrival of the encapsulation. For each of the respective recipients, which recipients have download the encapsulation is tracked. The encapsulation is deleted.
