Nested Messages

Definition

Nested messages refer to a communication structure where one digital message is contained within another, often for security or organizational purposes. This technique can be used in cryptographic protocols to hide the existence or content of an inner message until specific conditions are met. It allows for the bundling of related information or the creation of layered security envelopes. In some systems, it can also refer to complex data structures where messages contain other structured data fields.
