System for secure arbitrary data transport

A combination of a first non-transient computer readable medium containing program instructions for causing a first computer to carry out the steps of:

• receiving an encryption key from a key generating server;
• generating first information and second information that in combination represent secret information;
• encrypting the first information with the encryption key to generate encrypted information;
• sending the second information to the second computer via a relaying server;
• sending the encrypted information to a second computer via a communication channel independent of the relaying server and the key generating server;
• and a second non-transient computer readable medium containing program instructions for causing the second computer to carry out the steps of:
• receiving a decryption key from the key generating server;
• receiving the encrypted information;
• receiving the second information from the relaying server;
• decrypting the encrypted information using the decryption key to recover the first information;
• and
• combining the first information and the second information to recover the secret information.

A method of facilitating communication of secret information between a first client and a second client, the method comprising the steps of:

• generating an encryption key and a decryption key;
• sending the encryption key to the first client;
• sending the decryption key to the second client;
• causing the first client to:
• generate first information and second information that in combination represent the secret information;
• encrypt the first information using the encryption key to produce encrypted information;
• send the second information to a server;
• and
• send the encrypted information to the second client via a communication channel independent of the server;
• and
• at the server, sending the second information to the second client.
