Abstract
An example method performed by one or more processing devices includes: generating encrypted content at a sender device using one or more first keys that are available from a key provider; and outputting the encrypted content to a recipient device over one or more channels; where the key provider enables access, following authorization, by the recipient device to one or more second keys for decrypting the encrypted content; and where an entity that enables the channel is unaffiliated with the key provider.
