Overview#

A message is a discrete unit of data.

A secure Message is intended by the source for consumption by some recipient or group of recipients.

A Message has 3 Stages#

a Message has 3 stages it can be:

• in transit between two information systems
• in process within an information system
• stored (at rest) in an information system.
• In The Wild

Encryption and Message#

All three stages have a different approach towards Encryption.
