Abstract

A unified encrypted messaging system transmits messages from a first computer to a second computer by dividing the encrypted message into a plurality of encrypted message fragments. A first portion of the plurality of encrypted message fragments is transmitted via a first protocol and a second portion of the plurality of encrypted message fragments is sent via a second protocol. The first portion may be sent via a first device and the second portion may be sent via a second device where the first device is different from the second device. The dividing the encrypted message may include adding a message identifier and fragment identifier to each of the plurality of encrypted message fragments to facilitate reassembly of the encrypted message upon receipt.
