Abstract
A data transfer method, a data transfer apparatus, a data sending apparatus, and a data receiving apparatus for encrypting and transferring data and in particular, a data transfer method, a data transfer apparatus, a data sending apparatus and a data receiving apparatus capable of transferring data in safety. In a data transfer method for transferring data from a sender to a receiver, a calculation algorithm for encrypting the data supplied from the sender to the receiver is encrypted at the receiver and transmitted from the receiver to a sender.
Claims3
Computer readable storage media having computer executable instructions for implementing a method of data transfer by which data are transmitted from a data transmission device to a data reception device, comprising:
- transmitting an encryption algorithm to the data transmission device from the data reception device;
- using the encryption algorithm to encrypt the data transmitted to the data reception device;
- encrypting the encryption algorithm by the data reception device before being transmitted to the data transmission device, the encrypted encryption algorithm being decrypted at the data transmission device;
- the data reception device transmitting to the data transmission device a decryption algorithm, the decryption algorithm being used to decrypt the encryption algorithm, the decryption algorithm being encrypted by the data reception device before being transmitted to the data transmission device;
- and
- the data reception device transmitting to the data transmission device a plurality of decryption algorithms, each decryption algorithm except the last being encrypted by the data reception device before being transmitted to the data transmission device, the last decryption algorithm of the plurality of description algorithms not being encrypted before being transmitted to the data transmission device, each decryption algorithm being used to decrypt the encrypted decrypted algorithm transmitted immediately prior to the transmission of said each decryption algorithm.
