Abstract
A method, a system, and computer readable medium comprising instructions for message delivery security validation are provided. At least one authentication setting from an end user is received at a data collection system. A validation key is generated based on the at least one authentication setting. A message and the validation key are sent to a device of a recipient. The device of the recipient are automatically authenticated using the validation key. The message is delivered to the device of the recipient upon authentication.
Claims18
A method for message delivery security validation comprising:
- receiving at least one authentication setting from an end user at a data collection system;
- generating a validation key based on the at least one authentication setting;
- sending a message and the validation key to a device of a recipient;
- automatically determining, by the device of the recipient, whether the validation key issued by the data collection system is recognized;
- and
- delivering the message to the device of the recipient when the validation key is recognized;
- wherein the at least one authentication setting comprises:
- at least one security level for the message selected by the end user;
- and
- at least one type of authentication for the at least one selected security level;
- wherein a combination of the types of authentication are used for a certain security level of the at least one selected security level.
A system for message delivery security validation, comprising:
- a device of an end user configured to send a message and selecting at least one authentication setting;
- a data collection system communicably coupled to the device of the end user, the data collection system is configured to receive the at least one authentication setting and generate a validation key based on the at least one authentication setting;
- and
- a device of a recipient communicably coupled to the data collection system, the device is configured to automatically determine whether the validation key is recognized and deliver the message to the recipient when the validation key is recognized;
- wherein the at least one authentication setting comprises:
- at least one security level for the message selected by the end user;
- and
- at least one type of authentication for the at least one selected security level;
- wherein a combination of the types of authentication are used for a certain security level of the at least one selected security level.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions configured to cause a processor to:
- receive a message, at least one authentication setting and a validation key generated by a data collection system;
- automatically determine whether the validation key is recognized;
- and
- deliver the message to a recipient when the validation key is recognized;
- wherein the at least one authentication setting comprises:
- at least one security level for the message selected by an end user;
- and
- at least one type of authentication for the at least one selected security level;
- wherein a combination of the types of authentication are used for a certain security level of the at least one selected security level.
