摘要

Methods and systems for secure messaging are disclosed. One method includes generating a first key associated with the sender (204). The method further includes encrypting a message from the sender to the recipient using the first key (206). The method also includes encrypting the first key with a second key (208). The method includes storing the encrypted message and the encrypted first key at a message server accessible to individuals including the sender and the recipient (210). The method includes associating the encrypted message with a sender and a recipient (214). The method also includes decrypting the encrypted first key using a key related to the second key (216), and decrypting the encrypted message using the first key (218).
