Method of generating a deniable encrypted communications via password entry
Embodiments herein provide, for example, a method that includes generating a deniability key; downloading an encrypted blob from a server, where the encrypted blob includes a server-stored symmetric key and is encrypted with a user password; and decrypted the encrypted blob with a locally-stored symmetric key and the user password, where the sever-stored symmetric key: encrypts a message before transmitting the message to an intended recipient, and decrypts a received message, where the deniability key encrypts a deniable message before transmitting the message to an intended recipient, and where the message and the deniable message are transmitted in a random order to the intended recipient.
1. A method, comprising:
generating a deniability key;
downloading an encrypted blob from a server, wherein the encrypted blob includes a server-stored symmetric key and is encrypted with a user password;
decrypting the encrypted blob with a locally-stored symmetric key and the user password; and
creating an encrypted blob comprising a remote wipe user password and transmitting the encrypted blob to the server,
wherein the server:
encrypts a message using the server-stored symmetric key before transmitting the message to an intended recipient decrypts a received message,
wherein the deniability key encrypts a deniable message before transmitting the deniable message to an intended recipient,
Wherein the message and the deniable message are transmitted in a random order to the intended recipient, and
wherein the server decrypts the encrypted blob with an inverse of a reversible operation of the user password and overwrites the user password with the remote wipe user password.
