Over the years, the enormous increase in the incidence of data being breached, pilfered, damaged or diverted has rendered it imperative for governments, companies and large entities to look for foolproof and breachproof messaging systems. The attainment of secure messaging objectives, on a practical enterprise scale, requires a robust messaging engine, effective encryption without rendering the data bulky and unmnagaeable, cross platform (hardware & software) capabilities and fail safe delivery with built-in, full scale redundancies. Secure messaging is, thus, a means to ensure total privacy in the communication of sensitive data. Secure messaging systems enable users to transmit sensitive messages and data using a secured channel by deploying appropriate data encryption and decryption techniques. Cryptography, used in securing data, is certainly not a new concept and neither is its application in digital communication but requirement variations such as transmission of complex data (audio, video and graphics) require more comprehensive technologies to enable high grade complete messaging security. Messaging security is also an indispensable requirement for communication in strategic environments where a secure messaging solution must provide the following: a) Real time communications with very low latency even in adverse and complex situations. b) Strong security architecture using advanced and captive algorithms (which create an unbreakable cryptographic shell around the data but do not greatly inflate the file sizes) and other technologies like two factor authentication, key management, DPAT/OTP, SSO etc. c) Secure user access by using hardware equipment such as a dongle containing key pointers that are user specific. d) Access control to allow priority based secure messaging. e) Self-composing and self-healing capabilities ensuring best possible security. f) Cross platform operability for Windows, LINUX, Red Hat, Ubuntu, Android (jelly bean, icecream sandwich) (2x and 4x versions), software defined radio (SDR). g) Support for heterogenous clients such as desktops, mobile handsets, radios, landlines, GSM, CDMA and satellite frequencies. h) Highly scalable to accommodate a large number of users and nodes. Aarken Technologies (Aarktech), a sophisticated IT company that deals in the top of the line engineering technologies, has developed and is undertaking deployment of a unique secure messaging solution known as Security Based Messaging System (SBMS). SBMS is capable of working in adverse environments where there is very low bandwidth, even in situations where only 10% of normal frequency bandwidth is available (minimum being 2.4kbps) such as atmospheric disruptions, jamming by inimical agencies etc. It is a cross platform technology encapsulating security architecture comprised of indigenous SSL/IPSec, advanced encryption and decryption algorithms, two factor authentication, SSO, key management for secure online/offline communication. It is a complete network communication solution where data is transmitted through secured channels with assured message delivery even in adverse and complex environments. It is a single system with multiple benefits. SBMS is designed for assured delivery of messages which is achieved by automatically rerouting of data packets, in the event of partial network damage/ outage over areas of the network which are negotiable. It also has a delay detection mechanism to raise appropriate alarms during connectivity problem. It is the most complete and reliable secure messaging solution for businesses with national/ global footprints and offices/ projects/ stations/ sites/ branches that are widely scattered over similar or different environments. Examples would include sectors like oil & gas, mining, banking, insurance, shipping, airlines, railroads, trucking, plantations, warehousing and hotel chains. It is singularly suited to meet the complex and demanding requirements of government agencies like the defense forces, counter terrorist outfits, crime fighting departments, border management, coast guard, civil defense and forest guards.
