A method for secure onboarding to a closed mesh network in which a camera-equipped device scans a QR code embedded in a durable physical carrier (e.g., adhesive bandages, photographs, ID cards) to extract an access credential, configuration profile, or secure URL that automatically configures the device for network access, authenticates the device to the mesh without manual credential entry or transmission of plaintext credentials over insecure channels, and establishes end-to-end encrypted communications between network nodes; the method supports cryptographically random, single-use or time-limited credentials with periodic refresh to prevent replay, encoding of VPN / WireGuard or proprietary configuration profiles, substantially real-time onboarding (e.g., under five seconds), optional multi-factor verification (biometric or PIN), immediate initiation of secure messaging, voice / video or data sessions upon onboarding, audit logging for compliance and revocation based on detected unauthorized activity, and covert or overt embedding of QR codes in environment-resistant carriers for emergency, disaster response, first responder, or covert deployment, with the QR code rendered unreadable or deactivated after successful onboarding to prevent credential reuse.

Additionally, the system and method of secure messaging is mobile phone operating system (OS) agnostic.

Exemplary embodiments may use a contactless card as a secondary form of authentication in a multi-factor authentication for a secure messaging service. The recipient party of a request to initiate a messaging service session (such as a server computing device) may be programmed to use the phone number of the originating device to look up records regarding an identity of a party and their associated phone number as a primary credential and then may require an authentication credential originating from the contactless card as a secondary credential for the initiating party. In some instances, the credential originating from the contactless card is a onetime password that is valid only for a period of time. The recipient party determines whether the onetime password is valid. If both credentials are valid, a secure messaging session may be initiated with the initiating party.

A telecommunications system is configured to prevent Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) swap scams. The system includes multiple network nodes and a database. When a SIM change occurs for a given phone number, a messaging process is triggered between the network nodes that temporarily sets a flag in the database associated with that phone number. While the flag is set in the database, messages for the phone number are not delivered in a normal manner. Instead, the messages are analyzed by the network for the presence of secure information, such as one-time passwords (OTPs). If a message is determined to be secure by the network, then delivery of the message is blocked, thereby preventing a fraudster from performing SIM swap fraud using the message.

On-grid and off-grid secure messaging is described. In one or more implementations, a first electronic device communicates a sender key over a first network to a second electronic device. The sender key enables encryption and decryption of messages communicated between the first electronic device and the second electronic device when the first network is inaccessible by the first electronic device. Responsive to input, at the first electronic device, to communicate a message to the second electronic device when the first network is inaccessible by the first electronic device, the first electronic device encrypts the message using a message key generated based on the sender key and communicates the message encrypted with the message key over a second network to the second electronic device.

An on-boarding technique securely and efficiently provides encrypted wireless credentials needed by wireless devices of a system to join a wireless network. The encrypted wireless credentials are provided via one or more secure messages of a wireless protocol transmitted over a mesh topology. A primary device is initially configured with credential information and automatically distributes the credential information using the secure messaging protocol to subordinate devices on the mesh topology. Illustratively, the primary device is configured with the wireless credentials via an initial physical interaction between the administrator and an application executing on the device to, e. g., enhance security and obviate possibilities of compromising the credentials. Once the physical interaction completes, the primary device becomes a controlling device of the mesh topology that is responsible for onboarding the subordinate devices of the system.

A method of communicating through a less secure messaging system provides an option of masking messages sent from a second party to a first party so that they are unreadable when received by the first party. For some embodiments, it may be that they are visible, but unreadable, other embodiments, not visible. In either case, an authorization may be provided by the first party to make the masked messages readable messages, for many embodiments until a session rule makes the readable message a masked message again.

A system and method for cryptographic decryption using deterministic collapse resonance based on the Total Wave Modified Schrödinger Equation (TWMSE). An encrypted problem state is encoded as a system wavefunction, while candidate solutions are represented as observer wavefunctions. A collapse field with tunable parameters ensures destructive interference cancels incorrect candidates and constructive resonance deterministically selects the correct solution. Unlike brute-force search or probabilistic quantum measurement, the method achieves decryption in a single engineered collapse. Hardware embodiments include optical photonic systems, neuromorphic processors, and resonant field architectures. Applications extend to RSA, Diffie-Hellman, elliptic curve cryptography, lattice-based post-quantum protocols, blockchain, and secure messaging frameworks. Proof-of-concept demonstrations on small instances, including factorization of $N=15$, illustrate feasibility at toy scale. Scaling to larger cryptosystems is envisioned through adaptive parameter control, resonance calibration, and experimental implementation.

Embodiments herein relate to systems and methods for secure messaging interoperability between email gateways with different capabilities. A capability indicator within the recipient's public certificate addresses potential incompatibility between email gateways. A sending gateway obtains the recipient's certificate and checks the certificate for the indicator. Based on the check, the sender adaptively selects either an enhanced or a legacy encryption scheme. The message is then encrypted using the selected scheme and transmitted.

A computing platform may receive an event processing request. The computing platform may identify, by inputting first communication parameters of the event processing request into a secure communication model, communication validation information for the event processing request. The computing platform may embed, using one or more tonal bits of an audio communication corresponding to the event processing request, the first communication validation information, wherein embedding the first communication validation information generates a secure event communication. The computing platform may send the secure event communication to a recipient user device, where the recipient user device may be configured to verify the secure event communication based on the first communication validation information.
