Abstract
The arrangements disclosed herein relate to systems, apparatus, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for Secure Node Exchange Attribute-based Keys (SNEAK) including secure exchange of sensitive message elements between sequential message nodes using attribute-based key management. Each message node can access none, one, some, or all encrypted message elements based on assigned attributes of that message node. A key management node provides key exchange for each Content Encryption Key (CEK) used to protect the message elements based on attributes of the message nodes.
