    Abstract: Some embodiments of the subject technology provide a novel system for synchronizing content items among a group of peer devices. The content synchronizing system of some embodiments includes the group of peer devices and a set of one or more synchronizing servers communicatively connected with the peer devices through one or more networks. In some embodiments, the synchronizing system uses a star architecture, in which each peer device offloads its synchronization operations to the synchronizing server set. Without establishing a peer-to-peer communication with any other peer device, the particular peer device in these embodiments supplies an encrypted content item set along with the N−1 encryptions of a content key used to encrypt the content item set to the synchronizing server set so that this server set can distribute the encrypted content item set and an encrypted content key to each of the N−1 peer devices.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to secure message exchanges. In some embodiments, a first computing device generates an account key associated with a user account shared by a plurality of computing devices. The first computing device signs a public key of the first computing device with the generated account key to produce a digital signature and sends the public key and the digital signature to a first server system for distributing the public key to a second computing device attempting to send an encrypted message to the first computing device. The first computing device sends the account key to an external storage external usable by others of the plurality of computing devices to obtain the account key and use the account key to sign public keys of the other computing devices. The first computing device receives, from the second computing device, the encrypted message encrypted using the public key.
