    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium that includes instructions that permit users of different secure communication networks to exchange secure communications. A secure communication platform includes a user database that allows users from different secure communication networks to access keys for recipients outside of their network. Additionally, the secure communication platform provides a high degree of trust regarding the sender's identity, allowing the receiving network to trust the sender.

    Abstract: A solution for circumventing censorship is disclosed. A first device connects to a first server hosted in a content delivery network (CDN). The CDN routes the first device's connection request to the first server. The first server responds by providing the first device with a configuration file that contains a plurality of second servers for the first device to access. The first device disconnects from the first server and hops between one or more of the plurality of second servers contained in the configuration file. By distributing the configuration file from a first server hosted in a CDN, the first device obfuscates the true endpoint of the connection. Thus, the first device obtains the configuration file without drawing the ire of censors. By hopping from server-to-server, the first device stays one step ahead of censors. Accordingly, a multi-prong approach to staying a step ahead of eavesdroppers, sniffers, and censors is described.

    Abstract: A secure communication platform includes a user database that allows users from different secure communication networks to perform directory look-ups to access keys, and other information, for recipients outside of their network. Users from different secure communication networks may request, from the database, user information of users outside their secure communication. The user information may allow the users of different secure communication networks to exchange secure communications. The secure communication platform provides a high degree of trust regarding the sender's identity, allowing the receiving network to trust the sender, and allowing the secure communications to flow across different secure communication networks.
