Secure data transport using trusted identities

A computer system for secure transport of data, comprising:

• one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more computer-readable tangible storage media, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable tangible storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more computer-readable memories, wherein the computer system is capable of performing a method comprising:
• defining a trust relationship based on a secret, wherein the secret incorporates personal identification information of a user, wherein the secret is unaltered once the secret that defines the trust relationship is stored on a secure network, wherein the trust relationship is created between a trusted transport key (TTK) and the secret that is to be transferred;
• associating a trusted transport key identity (TTKI) based on the defined trust relationship;
• receiving the TTK, wherein the TTK is digitally signed and encrypted with the TTKI, wherein the TTK is associated with the secret, wherein the TTK is acknowledged by the user as a trusted key;
• verifying the digitally signed TTK;
• and
• enveloping the secret with the TTK.

A computer program product for secure transport of data, comprising:

• one or more computer-readable tangible storage media and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable tangible storage media, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
• defining a trust relationship based on a secret, wherein the secret incorporates personal identification information of a user, wherein the secret is unaltered once the secret that defines the trust relationship is stored on a secure network, wherein the trust relationship is created between a trusted transport key (TTK) and the secret that is to be transferred;
• associating a trusted transport key identity (TTKI) based on the defined trust relationship;
• receiving the TTK, wherein the TTK is digitally signed and encrypted with the TTKI, wherein the TTK is associated with the secret, wherein the TTK is acknowledged by the user as a trusted key;
• verifying the digitally signed TTK;
• and
• enveloping the secret with the TTK.
