With the evolution of digital technologies it is now possible for users to perform a number of day to day tasks using various digital platforms. Also, such advanced technologies have provided the users a number of platforms to communicate digitally. Further, in order to perform various transactions the communication technologies also plays an important role along with the digital platforms. For instance, the users can use various digital platforms to complete a number of financial and banking related transaction digitally. Furthermore, to add a security measure/layer to such digital transactions a number of security platforms are developed time to time. Authentication of any user account/s and one or more digital transactions using encrypted secret key or password, OTP text messages and passwords received over text messages are few examples of these security measures.

Apart from the transactional messages, there also requires security measures for various other messages. For instance, a message comprising one or more personal information such as address details, government identification details etc. of the user/s or in one other instance high priority messages comprising business meeting details etc. also requires additional security measures to avoid data theft and/or such similar problems.

Further, although the existing technologies have provided various solutions to provide security layer/s in order to secure one or more messages, but these currently known solutions have many limitations and therefore there is a need for improvement in this area of technology.

The foregoing shall be more apparent from the following more detailed description of the present disclosure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In the following description, for the purposes of explanation, various specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of embodiments of the present disclosure. It will be apparent, however, that embodiments of the present disclosure may be practiced without these specific details. Several features described hereafter can each be used independently of one another or with any combination of other features. An individual feature may not address all of the problems discussed above or might address only some of the problems discussed above.

As in today’s world, we come across a lot of digital frauds that are related to user’s digital transactions and user’s personal and/or confidential data, where attackers clone user’s smart device or by any other means the attackers get access to user’s smart-device/user device, which further leads to providing the attackers an access to one or more secure message related to any transaction and/or personal and/or confidential data, that is been requested by attacker. The user in such cases has no idea of the access of one or more secure messages by the attackers, and therefore attackers takes advantage in such scenarios. User’s OTP messages, password messages, confidential messages and such similar secure messages are also accessed from native messaging application by other one or more 3 ^rd party applications that have permission to read all messages of user’s messaging application. This further results in financial or personal information loss of the user. Therefore, it is important to secure messages to avoid problems such as data theft, digital fraud etc.

Further in order to secure one or more secure messages and to provide secure access to such secure message/s a number of solutions are developed time to time, but most of these prior art solutions tries to secure message/s at client and server end using encryption-decryption technique. Further, one of the currently known solution includes transmitting a seed OTP to a user device/smart-device and thereafter receiving a response OTP from the user device to calculate an expected response OTP by applying a function to the seed OTP. This prior art solution may then compare the response OTP to the expected response OTP and send a result in response to the comparison of the response OTP to the expected response OTP. This prior art solution works well in securing OTP messages from external interference, but local applications that has access to message space can access secure message/s(OTP messages) very well.

Further, as this known prior art solution only takes care of securing the secure message/s (OTP messages) from the external interference such as man in middle attack etc., it fails to prevent access of the secure messages from the 3rd party applications that are installed locally in user device/s.

Therefore, in view of these and other existing limitations, there is an imperative need to provide a solution to overcome the limitations of prior existing solutions and to provide a more efficient method and system for securing one or more messages.

The present disclosure provides a method and system for securing one or more messages. The present disclosure proposes a solution that focuses on keeping a private space for one or more secure text messages, unlike the prior known solution that are focused on encryption/decryption of the one or more messages and involves both parties. The present disclosure discloses that, once a secure message related to any transaction or related to any personal data access or such similar confidential information is received, the present disclosure encompasses moving/storing that received secure message to the private space present under a messaging application.

The present disclosure identifies that a received message is a secure message by comparing one or more keywords like “OTP” (i.e. usually six/four-digit number) , transaction related keywords, keywords indicating confidential information etc. Also, the private space includes a separate space created in the messaging application itself via implementing the features of present disclosure. The private space does not allow any local applications installed in a user device, to read content of message/s inside it. Also, the present disclosure encompasses adding one or more additional layer of security to this private space by adding a lock/password based access to the private space, so that the access to the private space is possible only with valid credentials.

As used herein, the “secure message” is a message comprising one or more secure keywords, wherein the secure keywords comprising at least one of an OTP detail, a transaction detail, a personal detail, a confidential detail, a password related detail and the like.

The system [100] comprises, at least one transceiver unit [102] , at least one processing unit [104] and at least one storage unit [106] . The at least one storage unit [106] further comprises a private storage space [106-A] and a normal storage space [106-B] . All of these components/units are assumed to be connected to each other unless otherwise indicated below. Also, in Fig. 1 only few units are shown, however the system [100] may comprise multiple such units or the system [100] may comprise any such numbers of the units, obvious to a person skilled in the art or as required to implement the features of the present disclosure.

The system [100] is configured for securing one or more messages with the help of the interconnection between its components/units.

The at least one transceiver unit [102] is configured to receive, the one or more messages. The one or more messages may be one or more text messages which further comprising one or more keywords indicating a message type. The message type relates to one of a secure message and a normal message.

The at least one processing unit [104] is connected to the at least one transceiver unit [102] . The processing unit [104] is configured to process, each of the one or more messages to identify one of the secure message and the normal message. For example, if 4 messages are received at a user device, the processing unit processes these received 4 messages to identify the message type (i.e. one of the secure message and a normal message) of each of the received 4 messages.

The processing unit [104] is further configured to identify the secure message based on a presence of one or more secure keywords in the secure message. Also, the processing unit [104] is further configured to identify the normal message based on an absence of one or more secure keywords in the normal message. Further, the one or more secure keywords may comprise at least one of an OTP detail, a transaction detail, a personal detail, a confidential detail, a password related detail and such similar detail.

In an instance, the secure keywords are the keyword/s including but not limited to at least one of an OTP related keyword, a transaction related keyword, a personal detail related keyword, a confidential detail related keyword, a password related keyword and the any other such similar keyword/s which needs to be secured in order to avoid any digital fraud.

The at least one storage unit [106] is connected to the at least one processing unit [104] and the at least one transceiver unit [102] . The storage unit [106] is configured to store, the one or more secure messages in order to secure the one or more secure messages.

The storage unit [106] further comprises a private storage space [106-A] and a normal storage space [106-B] . The private storage space is further associated with at least one security layer/access key. The access key may be one of a user defined access key or a pre-defined access key. For example, the access key may comprise a security measure related to provide a secure access to the private storage space [106-A] based on a user defined lock pattern or lock password.

Further, the storage unit [106] is configured to store the one or more secure messages at the private storage space [106-A] . Also, to access the private storage space [106-A] , the access/secure-access is required based on the at least one access key associated with the private storage space [106-A] .

Further, the processing unit [104] is configured to compare a user input key with the access key associated with the private storage space [106-A] , based on a request received on the storage unit [106] to access via the user, the one or more secure messages. Also, the received request comprises the user input key.

The processing unit [104] is further configured to provide the user, a secure access to the one or more secure messages based on a successful matching of the access key with the user input key.

Further, the processing unit [104] is also configured to determine, a request type associated with an automatically generated request, wherein the automatically generated request is a request generated via one or more applications which further received at the storage unit [106] , to access the one or more secure messages by one or more applications.

Further the request type is one of an authorized request and an unauthorized request. In an instance the authorized request is the request comprising a valid authentication key and an unauthorized request comprises an invalid authentication key or the unauthorized request does not comprises any authentication key. The valid authentication key is the user input key provided by the user to one or more applications to further access the private storage space [106-A] . Also, the invalid authentication key is a false access key or an automatically generated key which is not based on a user input.

The processing unit [104] is further configured to deny access to the one or more secure messages, in an event the request type associated with the automatically generated request is the unauthorized request.

Therefore, the system [100] for securing one or more messages in accordance with the present invention is able secure one or more secure messages by providing additional security measurements at the device level. Also, the system [100] provides data protection via eliminating the risk related to data theft and data fraud by one or more unauthorized users and one or more applications.

Referring to Fig. 2, an exemplary method flow diagram [200] , depicting method of securing one or more messages, in accordance with exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, is shown. As shown in Fig. 2, the method begins at step [202] .

At step [204] , the method comprises receiving, at a transceiver unit [102] , the one or more messages. The one or more messages may be one or more text messages which further comprising one or more keywords indicating a message type. The message type relates to one of a secure message and a normal message.

Next, at step [206] , the method comprises processing, via a processing unit [104] , each of the one or more messages to identify one of the secure message and the normal message. For example, if 5 messages are received at a user device and 3 out of 5 messages are related to a transaction and 2 out of 5 messages promotional messages, the method encompasses processing via the processing unit the received 5 messages to identify the message type (i.e. one of the secure message and a normal message) of each of the received 5 messages. In the given example the 3 messages related to the transaction are identified as secure messages and the 2 promotional messages are identified as normal messages.

Thereafter, the method comprises identifying via the processing unit [104] , the secure message based on a presence of one or more secure keywords in the secure message. Also, the method comprises identifying via the processing unit [104] , the normal message based on an absence of one or more secure keywords in the normal message. Further, the one or more secure keywords may comprise at least one of an OTP detail, a transaction detail, a personal detail, a confidential detail, a password related detail and such similar detail.

In an instance, the secure keywords are the keyword/s including but not limited to at least one of an OTP related keyword, a transaction related keyword, a personal detail related keyword, a confidential detail related keyword, a password related keyword and the any other such similar keyword/s which needs to be secured in order to avoid any digital fraud. For example, the method comprises identifying a message comprising keywords “your one time password is 4444” as a secure message based on the OTP (one time password) details.

Next, at step [208] , the method comprises securing one or more secure messages by storing the one or more secure messages, at a storage unit [106] , wherein the storage unit [106] comprises a private storage space [106-A] and a normal storage space [106-B] . Also, the method at step [208] further encompasses storing the one or more secure messages at the private storage space [106-A] . Further, an access to the private storage space [106-A] is based on an access key. The private storage space [106-A] is associated with at least one security layer/access key. The access key may be one of a user defined authentication/access key or a pre-defined authentication/access key. For example, the access key may comprise a security measure related to a secure access of the private storage space [106-A] based on a face unlock or PIN code or fingerprint authentication etc.

Thereafter, the method encompasses receiving, at the storage unit [106] , a request to access the one or more secure messages, wherein the request comprises a user input key. The method further comprises comparing, by the processing unit [104] , the user input key with the access key associated with the private storage space [106-A] . Further the method comprises providing, by the processing unit [104] , a secure access to the one or more secure messages based on a successful matching of the access key with the user input key.

For example, in order to get access to a user account, a user receives a password in a text message. The method of the present disclosure in such instance firstly identifies the received message as a secure message based on one or more keywords related to the received password. Thereafter, the method encompasses storing the identified secure message in a private storage space [106-A] . Also the private storage space [106-A] may be associated with a password/access key abc@! *2. Further, in order to get access to the received message the use further provides a user input key abc@! *2. Thereafter, the method encompasses comparing the access key/password i.e. abc@! *2 with the user input key i.e. abc@! *2. Further, upon successful matching of the access key with the user input key, the method encompasses providing the user a secure access to the received message. Also, in an instance if the access key fails to match with the user input key, the method encompasses denying the access to the private storage space [106-A] .

Further, the method encompasses receiving, at the storage unit [106] , an automatically generated request to access the one or more secure messages. The automatically generated request is a request generated via one or more applications to access the one or more secure messages. For example, a XYZ banking application in order to receive a password to perform some digital transaction may automatically generated request to access the one or more secure messages.

Further, the method encompasses determining via the processing unit [104] , a request type associated with the automatically generated request, wherein the request type is one of an authorized request and an unauthorized request. In an instance the authorized request is the request comprising a valid authentication key and an unauthorized request comprises an invalid authentication key or the unauthorized request does not comprises any authentication key. The valid authentication key is the user input key provided by the user to one or more applications to further access the private storage space [106-A] . Also, the invalid authentication key is a false access key or an automatically generated key which is not based on a user input.

Thereafter, the method comprises denying via the processing unit [104] the access to the one or more secure messages in an event the request type associated with the automatically generated request is the unauthorized request. For instance, in order to access a message stored in the private storage space [106-A] , an automatically generated request to access the message is received from an ABC e-commerce application. Further, the automatically generated request comprising an automatically generated key 22jq8. The method in such case encompasses comparing the automatically generated key 22jq8 with an access key of the private storage space [106-A] . Further, if the automatically generated key 22jq8 fails to match with the access key of the private storage space [106-A] , the method comprises denying the access of the private storage space [106-A] to the ABC e-commerce application.

After successfully securing one or more messages, the method further terminates at step [210] .

Furthermore, one aspect of the present disclosure relates to a user equipment for securing one or more messages. The user equipment comprises a system [100] configured to receive, the one or more messages. The system [100] further configured to process, each of the one or more messages to identify one of a secure message and a normal message. Thereafter the system [100] is configured to store, one or more secure messages, to secure the one or more secure messages, wherein the system [100] comprises a private storage space [106-A] and a normal storage space [106-B] , the one or more secure messages are stored at the private storage space [106-A] , and an access to the private storage space [106-A] is based on an access key.

Referring to Fig. 3, an exemplary flow diagram [300] , depicting an instance implementation of the process of securing one or more OTP messages, in accordance with exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, is shown. As indicated in Figure 3, the process starts at step [302] . In an instance the process is initiated to prevent one or more OTP frauds.

At step [304] the method encompasses receiving at a user equipment/user device a new text message.

Next, at step [306] , the method comprises detecting via the processing unit [104] , a message type of the received text message. At step [306] , the method comprises identifying one or more keywords received in the text message and on the basis of the identified keywords the method further determines if the received message is an OTP message (i.e. a secure message) or a normal message. For example the keywords may be:

·Substring with word “OTP”

·Substring with word “Transaction”

·Substring with numbers which is actual OTP (usually 4/6 digits)

·Substring stating “Do not share with anyone”

·Substring stating the validity of the OTP message

· Substring stating “Please contact support if you haven’t requested” , etc.

Next, the method leads to the step [308] , if the detected message is the OTP message, otherwise the method leads to the step [312] .

Further, at step [308] , the method comprises storing the received text message in a normal storage space [106-B] . Also, at step [312] , the method comprises storing the received text message in a private storage space [106-A] . The private storage space [106-A] may be a part of a native messaging application itself. The private storage space [106-A] may be present under a messaging module but with different access permission from rest of the messaging module.

Further, at step [310] the method indicates securing the private storage space [106-A] using one or more additional layer of security. For instance, a password based access associated with the private storage space [106-A] is indicated at step [310] .

Thereafter the method further leads to step [314] from step [312] . At step [314] , the method comprises securing the received message from being accessed outside secure space. For instance, the method encompasses allowing access to a user based on a valid user input key or allowing access to an application authenticated via the user by providing a valid authentication key to access the private space [106-A] . Further, as soon as the user and/or the application authenticated via the user moves out of secure space i.e. the private space [106-A] , it gets locked down securing all messages inside it.

Also, in an instance, if the user input key fails to match with the access key/password associated with the private storage space [106-A] , the method further leads to denying the access of the private storage space [106-A] to the user. Also, if the authentication key associated with one or more application fails to match with the access key/password associated with the private storage space [106-A] , the method further leads to denying the access of the private storage space [106-A] to the one or more applications requesting the access to the received text message.

Further, at step [316] , the method terminates after securing the received OTP message.

Further referring to Fig. 4, an exemplary user interface [400] , in accordance with exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, is shown.

Figure 4 pictorially represents a screen layout/user interface [400] indicating mechanism of securing one or more secure messages by placing respective messages in secure private space [106-A] , such that, no other application as well as no non-intended user can get access the one or more secure messages, which in turn can help the user to avoid any type of fraud or cheat.

Further, Figure 4 indicates a messaging module [402] which further comprises a private storage space [106-A] indicated at step [404] and a normal storage space [106-B] indicated at step [408] . The private storage space [106-A] is configured to store one or more secure messages and the normal storage space [106-B] is configured to store one or more normal messages.

The private storage space [106-A] is further associated with one or more security layers. One of the security layer indicated at step [406] . The step [406] discloses that an authentication is required to access the private storage space [106-A] .

The normal storage space [106-B] does not comprises security layers. The step [410] indicates that no authentication is required to access the normal storage space [106-B] and the normal storage space [106-B] can be access normally in the messaging module [402] .

As evident from the above disclosure, the present solution provides significant technical advancement over the existing solutions by securing one or more messages based on associated message type.

While considerable emphasis has been placed herein on the disclosed embodiments, it will be appreciated that many embodiments can be made and that many changes can be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles of the present disclosure. These and other changes in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be apparent to those skilled in the art, whereby it is to be understood that the foregoing descriptive matter to be implemented is illustrative and non-limiting.
