End-to-end encrypted messaging system without downloading encryption programs
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240039899A1) describes methods for verifying the integrity of a root document in a set of files that define a web page and implementing web browser-based end-to-end encryption between sender and recipient devices over the internet. In the first method, the user's web browser downloads the root document from an untrusted web server, obtains a cryptographic value from a trusted source, performs a cryptographic analysis of the root document, and verifies its integrity based on the analysis. The web page can be updated dynamically while loaded in the user's browser. The second method involves running web browsers on the sender and recipient devices, encrypting a message using client-side scripting, uploading the encrypted message to a server, downloading and decrypting the message using recipient's private key, and displaying the decrypted message.
These methods offer enhanced security measures for web browsing and communication over the internet. By verifying the integrity of root documents and implementing end-to-end encryption between sender and recipient devices, the technology aims to prevent malicious code entry and ensure secure communication. The dynamic updating of web pages and the use of client-side scripting for encryption and decryption add layers of protection to user data and messages. Overall, the patent application outlines innovative techniques to enhance cybersecurity and privacy in web browsing and online communication processes.
