Abstract
The disclosure relates to secure communications using cryptography. A method is disclosed that includes receiving a public key of a recipient; generating, by a sender, a symmetric key based on the public key of the recipient; encrypting, by a sender, a message using the symmetric key to generate an encrypted message; and transmitting a second public key of the sender and the encrypted message to the recipient.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- receive a public key of a recipient;
- generate, by a sender, a symmetric key based on the public key of the recipient;
- encrypt, by a sender, a message using the symmetric key to generate an encrypted message;
- and
- transmit a second public key of the sender and the encrypted message to the recipient.
A method comprising:
- receiving a public key of a recipient;
- generating, by a sender, a symmetric key based on the public key of the recipient;
- encrypting, by a sender, a message using the symmetric key to generate an encrypted message;
- and
- transmitting a second public key of the sender and the encrypted message to the recipient.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for tangibly storing computer program instructions capable of being executed by a computer processor, the computer program instructions defining steps of:
- receiving a public key of a recipient;
- generating, by a sender, a symmetric key based on the public key of the recipient;
- encrypting, by a sender, a message using the symmetric key to generate an encrypted message;
- and
- transmitting a second public key of the sender and the encrypted message to the recipient.
