• receive a first request for the encrypted file from a first requestor;
• and
• send the encrypted file to the first requestor via an unsecured channel that performs caching of the encrypted file, wherein the first requestor is able to access the encrypted file using the packet when the first requestor is a member of the group authorized to access the encrypted file and received the packet via the secure channel and unable to access the encrypted file when the first requestor is not a member of the group authorized to access the encrypted file.

• receive a first request for the encrypted file from a first requestor;
• and
• send the encrypted file to the first requestor via an unsecured channel that performs caching of the encrypted file, wherein the first requestor is able to access the encrypted file using the packet when the first requestor is a member of the group authorized to access the encrypted file and received the packet via the secure channel and unable to access the encrypted file when the first requestor is not a member of the group authorized to access the encrypted file.
