Secure Message

What is a "Secure Message"?

A secure message is a text message that can be sent and received by using PrivateGSM. Secure Message uses the same communication infrastructure of the Secure Voice communication to exchange data: 

  • Server Authentication by SSL certificate
  • HTTPS and SIP over TLS protocols to exchange data 

It's possible to send just text messages, but as PrivateGSM supports UNICODE and emoji character set, you can add emoticon icons as well.

Warning

BlackBerry platform does not support Emoji and thus cannot use them both for writing or reading. This is an operating system limitation and it's not recoverable.

How does a Secure Message work?

When a customer chooses to send a Secure Message, it triggers an HTTP POST request in his client towards PrivateServer which plays a "store-and-forward" role. As soon as the receiver pops up online, PrivateServer delivers the Secure Message.

Info

At current state of development, message encryption is granted on the server for the storing period by an internal key. Future development will implement asymmetric key encryption side-to-side (PGP like, actually).

Delivery is performed by SIP over TLS protocol, so as you can see the whole end-to-end path is encrypted and as the message is stored after a local encryption on the server, then there's (almost) no way of deciphering it.

Info

To use Emoji set it's mandatory to enable it on your device. This is an Operating System option thus please refer to your device manual.

You can also communicate by text messages using the Private Message System (henceforth PMS). PMS provides Private Text Message (henceforth PTM) which does relay on the very same security infrastructure the voice calls do.PTMs are available as a subsidiary communication system which is a sort of voice expansion feature.

Warning

PMS need specific abilitation by your service provider. If the service is not available on your device please contact your support team to check it's enabled on your account.

PTMs are available via Event log view, so please read History before you continue.

Note
You cannot directly send a PTM to a contact of choice. It's necessary for you and the contact you want to write to to have had a previous call or a PTM exchange.

Sending PTMs

per poter inviare i PTM devi essere nella schermata dello storico eventi (vedi paragrafo precedente).

Actually it's not possible to use PMS in order to chat with multiple people (ie it's not possible to create chat rooms).

Warning

Please note that the body of each PTM you send or receive will be deleted after 15 minutes you read or wrote it.
