Description
-
System:
A message is sent for the recipient to view after a certain time frame, the recipient must be able to view the message only after the time frame has elapsed. -
Setup:
Authentication of users is already done and each message is signed already.
The message is sent via a session key that's generated using both sender and receiver's public keys along with a relative time difference as inputs
Upon receiving the message, the recipient must not be able to view the message until sender rekeys or until definite time is obtained.
- Question:
How can we establish a concept of time in a cryptographic system ?
Given identities are independently defined, the concept of relative time is defined by the time on their systems, unless there's a workaround.
Happy to hear more thoughts on this.
Cheers!

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the signed-message and session-key design described here, along with the linked one-time-password reference, and clarify how time should be established between independently defined identities. Done would require an agreed protocol and implementation scope, not just a code change.
