Face Based Secure Messaging

Abstract

In an embodiment, a system includes at least one core and a trusted execution environment (TEE) to conduct an identity authentication that includes a comparison of streamed video data with previously recorded image data. Responsive to establishment of a match of the streamed video data to the previously recorded image data via the comparison, the TEE is to generate an identity attestation that indicates the match. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system comprising:
 at least one hardware processor core; and   a trusted execution environment (TEE) including secure hardware to:
 conduct an identity authentication that includes a comparison of streamed video data with previously recorded image data received from a sender in a face based secure messaging (FSM) request that includes the previously recorded image data, an encrypted message comprising a private message that is encrypted via a private key, a public key of the sender and a sender-defined policy for message access; 
 responsive to establishment of a match of the streamed video data to the previously recorded image data via the comparison and according to the sender-defined policy, generate an identity attestation that indicates the match and verifies an identity of a user of the system; 
 encrypt the identity attestation with the public key of the sender to form an encrypted identity attestation and provide an FSM response to the sender including the encrypted identity attestation and a public key of the system; and 
 receive an encrypted private key that includes the private key encrypted with the public key of the system, decode the encrypted private key and decrypt the encrypted message using the private key to enable the user to access the private message.
