    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that manages access to a user account on electronic devices of a user. An identity service provides a device token for the electronic device and a set of handles associated with the user account to the electronic device (302). The identity service 5 receives, from the electronic device, a handle registration containing selected handles from the set (304). The identity service transmits an identity certificate comprising an association between the selected handles and the electronic device to the electronic device (306). The identity certificate and the association are used to route data associated with the selected handles to and from the electronic device (308). Examples of handles are the user's e-mail addresses or 0 telephone numbers whereby the electronic device is configured to receive communications for the user sent to selected ones of the user's communication addresses comprised in the user account.

    Abstract: A system and method for secure instant messaging are described. For example, in one embodiment, a first user identifies a second user for an instant messaging session with the ID code of the second user. In response, the first user is provided with network information for the second user and a public key associated with the second user. The first user then encrypts an instant message using the public key of the second user and a private key. In one embodiment, the first user encrypts the content of the instant message (e.g., any text and/or attachments) using the public key of the second user and signs the content using the private key of the first user. The encrypted message is transmitted from the first user to the second user. The second user then decrypts the instant message using the second user's private key and verifies the signature with the first user's public key.
