Abstract

Anonymity and confidentiality of information published from a microblogging platform, are preserved using randomly chosen relays (not related to the publisher account) in order to hide content in the cloud of published messages. The information can be relayed in clear text or in encrypted format. Additional linked relays may be used to overcome character number limitations imposed by the microblogging platform, with the longer full text of the original message reconstructed at the conclusion of the process. Depending upon the desired degree of confidentiality, complexity of the relay combination can be adjusted, and the path secretly shared among sender and authorized recipient. Only authorized recipient(s) can obtain (through another platform) the path combination to reach the message. A trusted third party stores the path relays and authorizations to access the path. The confidential information that is to be shared, may remain on the microblogging platform spread randomly over anonymous accounts.
