Abstract
A method and apparatus for encrypted universal resource identifier (URI) based messaging is described. In one embodiment of the method, a computing system receives an encrypted message from a first client computing system over a network, stores the received message in a message data store, generates a shortened uniform resource locator (URL) for subsequent retrieval of the stored message, and sends the shortened URL to the first client computing system. Subsequently, the computing system receives a request, including the shortened URL, from a second client computing system to retrieve the stored message. The computing system encrypts the stored message in a URI and sends the URI to the second client computing system.
