System and method for secure communication of electronic documents

A method for secure communication of electronic documents comprising the steps of:

• receiving a document processing request, which document processing request includes document data representative of an unencrypted, electronic document;
• receiving a seed value;
• generating a random number from the seed value;
• encrypting the document data in accordance with the random number so as to generate encrypted document data;
• communicating the encrypted document data to an associated document processing device;
• and
• communicating the seed value to the associated document processing device.

A computer-readable medium of instructions with computer-readable instructions stored thereon for secure communication of electronic documents comprising:

• instructions for receiving a document processing request, which document processing request includes document data representative of an unencrypted, electronic document;
• instructions for receiving a seed value;
• instructions for generating a random number from the seed value;
• instructions for encrypting the document data in accordance with the random number so as to generate encrypted document data;
• instructions for communicating the encrypted document data to an associated document processing device;
• and
• instructions for communicating the seed value to the associated document processing device.
