According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A method for controlling message forwarding using sender defined temporal authorization. The method embeds a temporal forwarding authorization within message content. The authorization specifies a time window during which forwarding is permitted and embeds forwarding control metadata. The method synchronizes a recipient device (102) time with a trusted time reference to ensure reliable temporal enforcement. The method intercept an outbound transmission attempt associated with the message content at the recipient device (102). The method validate the outbound transmission attempt by comparing a current synchronized time against the temporal forwarding authorization; and block forwarding of the message content when the current synchronized time falls outside the time window. The method prevents circumvention by binding temporal control to content fingerprints and generates secure compliance logs of forwarding attempts."
