Method and system for generating a secure message as a URL message
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method comprising:
- establishing, at a sender'"'"'s computing device, a secure tunnel with device associated with an intended recipient;
receiving, at the sender'"'"'s device, a request from a sender to send a secure message to the intended recipient;
in response to receiving the request to send the secure message, generating a private security for encrypting and decrypting the secure message;
receiving contents for the secure message;
generating and encrypting the secure message after generating the private security key;
storing the private security key and the encrypted secure message;
creating, at the sender'"'"'s computing device, a URL message in response to receiving the request to send the secure message to the intended recipient;
sending, from the sender'"'"'s computing device, device the URL message to the intended recipient;
receiving, at the sender'"'"'s computing device, a URL message response from the intended recipient;
providing, from the sender'"'"'s computing device, a landing message to the intended recipient in response to receiving the URL message response, the landing message including a hint requesting an answer from the intended recipient;
receiving, at the sender'"'"'s computing device, the answer from the intended recipient;
decrypting, at the sender'"'"'s computing device, the secure message; and
providing, at the sender'"'"'s computing device, for display at the intended recipient, the decrypted secure message to the intended recipient via the secure tunnel, wherein the computing device and the device associated with the intended recipient each include first and second types of security and the secure message is sent using both the first type of security and the second type of security.

Abstract
A method for generating and delivering a message via a web service is provided. A message for a recipient is converted to a URL and sent.
