APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MESSAGING SECURITY AND RELIABILITY

摘要

Secure messaging system wherein both the content and the metadata are protected from adversary attack. A message for an intended recipient is decrypted using the intended recipient's public key. The message is then sent to the intended recipient as well as to multitude of decoys. The decoys are real devices that are clustered with the intended recipient according to some method, such as logical or geographical method. The decoys are unable to decrypt the message with their private key and will drop it. Only the intended recipient will be able to decrypt and read the message. Since the message is sent to many recipients (intended recipient and decoys), an adversary is unable to determine who is communicating with whom.
