Private, arrival-time messaging
This invention provides a secure method for sending data—private, arrival-time messaging. Private, arrival-time messaging is based on classical physics and not quantum mechanics. It insures a private language for communicators with privately-synchronized clocks. In this method, there is no encrypted message available to an eavesdropper. A private message is mapped onto a time measurement known only to an intended sender and an intended receiver such that a third party knowing only the arrival time of the message and not the time measurement can never know the private message.
1. A method for private messaging comprising:
a. synchronizing a first clock located a set distance away from said second clock to a given frequency and zero phase;
b. encrypting a message at said first clock to be transmitted to said second clock such that said encryption is based on said given frequency and said zero phase to generate a time measurement known only to said first clock and said second clock, said time measurement being the arrival time of said encrypted message at said second clock; and
c. transmitting an energy pulse, wherein said energy pulse has a publicly available arrival time at said second clock that is not equal to said arrival time measured by said first clock and said second clock.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein said first clock and said second clock are computer generated.
3. A method for delivering an encrypted message comprising
a. encrypting a message on a first computer and transmitting said message from a first computer to a second computer, wherein said first computer and said second computer are set to a frequency and phase known only to said first computer and said second computer such that said frequency and phase create a private arrival time of said encrypted message at said second computer and said encrypting is based on said private arrival time;
b. transmitting said encrypted message through an energy pulse from said first computer to a second computer, wherein said transmissions is complete from said first computer to said second computer at a publicly known arrival time that is based on the distance between said first computer and said second computer and the speed of said energy pulse;
wherein said publicly known arrival time comprises a frequency and phase that is not equal to said frequency and phase of said private arrival time.
