SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING ACCESS TO MESSAGE CONTENT

Systems and methods for selectively managing access to message content at a first display terminal are configured to display one or more messages collectively defining an exchange between a user of the first display terminal and a user of a second display terminal. The method determines, by a processor, that secure display processing should be used on at least one message of the exchange at the first display terminal, and displays message content of one or more messages of the exchange while concealing message content of the at least one message. In an embodiment, a successfully authenticated user or one who presents a required decryption code is able to view all any portion of an exchange, such as the at least one message in the context of a plurality of messages comprising a conversation.
