Method of ephemeral encrypted communications

Abstract

Embodiments herein provide, for example, a method that includes, comprising: sending a request, by a first user on a first device, to a server, the request comprising requesting the server open an ephemeral communication session with a second user on a second device; allocating resources, by the server, to begin the ephemeral communication session between the first user and the second user; generating a unique ephemeral communication session identifier by the server and transmitting the unique ephemeral communication session identifier to the first user; transmitting, by the first user, the unique ephemeral communication session identifier to the second user using a second communication channel; connecting, by the second user, to the first user through the ephemeral communication session using the unique ephemeral communication session identifier; and connecting, by the first user, to the second user through the ephemeral communication session using the unique ephemeral communication session identifier. In such a method, connecting, by the second user, to the first user through the ephemeral communication session may include connecting to the server; and connecting, by the first user, to the second user through the ephemeral communication session may include connecting to the server.
