Abstract

Message and data sharing may require additional levels of security beyond mere access authorization procedures. One example method of operation may include identifying message content associated with a message, splitting the message content into a plurality of message content sections, identifying a plurality of potential recipient devices, and transmitting the plurality of message content sections to the plurality of potential recipient devices.

Claims (43)

1. A method comprising:

identifying message content associated with a message;

splitting the message content into a plurality of message content sections;

identifying a plurality of potential recipient devices, where each of potential recipient device, of the plurality of potential recipient devices, has a security level; and

selectively transmitting the plurality of message content sections to corresponding ones of the plurality of potential recipient devices based on the security level.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the plurality of potential recipient devices comprises identifying the plurality of potential recipient devices associated with a recipient identified by the message content.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of potential recipient devices are currently operating in a non-secure network during the transmitting of the plurality of message content sections.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein splitting the message content into a plurality of message content sections further comprises creating a first message with a message subject, a second message with sender information and recipient information, and at least one additional message with body text content and at least one file attachment.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein transmitting the plurality of message content sections to the plurality of potential recipient devices further comprises transmitting the first message to a first wireless device, transmitting the second message to a second wireless device and transmitting the at least one additional message to a non-wireless device.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a degree of sensitivity associated with the message content portions based on content of each of the message content portions;

assigning a degree of sensitivity to each of the message content portions; and

transmitting the message content portion with a highest degree of sensitivity to one of the potential recipient devices with a lowest level of vulnerability.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the lowest level of vulnerability is determined based on a comparison of communication mediums used by each of the plurality of potential recipient devices.

8. An apparatus, comprising:

a processor configured to:

identify message content associated with a message;

split the message content into a plurality of message content sections;

identify a plurality of potential recipient devices, where each of potential recipient device, of the plurality of potential recipient devices, has a security level; and

a transmitter configured to:

selectively transmit the plurality of message content sections to corresponding ones of the plurality of potential recipient devices based on the security level.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein to identify the plurality of potential recipient devices comprises the processing being configured to identify the plurality of potential recipient devices associated with a recipient identified by the message content.

10. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of potential recipient devices are currently operating in a non-secure network during the transmitting of the plurality of message content sections.

11. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein splitting the message content into a plurality of message content sections further comprises the processor being configured to create a first message with a message subject, a second message with sender information and recipient information, and at least one additional message with body text content and at least one file attachment.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein transmitting the plurality of message content sections to the plurality of potential recipient devices further comprises the transmitter being configured to transmit the first message to a first wireless device, and transmit the second message to a second wireless device and transmit the at least one additional message to a non-wireless device.

13. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine a degree of sensitivity associated with the message content portions based on content of each of the message content portions;

assign a degree of sensitivity to each of the message content portions; and

the transmitter is further configured to transmit the message content portion with a highest degree of sensitivity to one of the potential recipient devices with a lowest level of vulnerability.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the lowest level of vulnerability is determined based on a comparison of communication mediums used by each of the plurality of potential recipient devices.

15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store one or more instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform:

identifying message content associated with a message;

splitting the message content into a plurality of message content sections;

identifying a plurality of potential recipient devices, where each of potential recipient device, of the plurality of potential recipient devices, has a security level; and

selectively transmitting the plurality of message content sections to corresponding ones of the plurality of potential recipient devices based on the security level.

16. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein identifying the plurality of potential recipient devices comprises identifying the plurality of potential recipient devices associated with a recipient identified by the message content.

17. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the plurality of potential recipient devices are currently operating in a non-secure network during the transmitting of the plurality of message content sections.

18. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein splitting the message content into a plurality of message content sections further comprises creating a first message with a message subject, a second message with sender information and recipient information, and at least one additional message with body text content and at least one file attachment.

19. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 18 , wherein transmitting the plurality of message content sections to the plurality of potential recipient devices further comprises transmitting the first message to a first wireless device, transmitting the second message to a second wireless device and transmitting the at least one additional message to a non-wireless device.

20. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the one or more instruction are further configured to cause the processor to perform:

determining a degree of sensitivity associated with the message content portions based on content of each of the message content portions;

assigning a degree of sensitivity to each of the message content portions; and

transmitting the message content portion with a highest degree of sensitivity to one of the potential recipient devices with the least vulnerability, wherein the least vulnerability is determined based on a comparison of communication mediums used by each of the plurality of potential recipient devices.
