Claims17
A method for declassifying a suspicious message, the method comprising:
- sending a notification regarding a suspicious message to a computing device;
- receiving input from a user of the computing device to declassify the suspicious message;
- executing instructions stored in memory, wherein execution of the instructions by a processor:
- authenticates the user of the computing device,
- identifies that the authenticated user is a delegate authorized to declassify the message for one or more addressees of the suspicious message, and
- declassifying the suspicious message;
- and
- delivering the declassified message to the one or more addressees in accordance with the declassification of the message.
An apparatus for declassifying a suspicious message, the apparatus comprising:
- a network interface for sending a notification regarding a suspicious message to a computing device;
- a user interface for receiving input from a user of the computing device to declassify the suspicious message;
- and
- a processor for executing instructions stored in memory, wherein execution of the instructions by the processor:
- authenticates the user of the computing device,
- identifies that the authenticated user is a delegate authorized to declassify the message for one or more other addressees of the suspicious message, and
- declassifies the suspicious message, wherein the declassified message is delivered to the one or more other addressees in accordance with the declassification of the message.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having embodied thereon a program executable by a processor to perform a method for declassifying suspicious messages, the method comprising:
- sending a notification regarding a suspicious message to a computing device;
- receiving input from a user of the computing device to declassify the suspicious message;
- authenticating the user of the computing device;
- identifying that the authenticated user is a delegate authorized to declassify the message for one or more other addressees of the suspicious message;
- declassifying the suspicious message;
- and
- delivering the declassified message to the one or more other addressees in accordance with the declassification of the message.
