Modular secure data transfer

A method comprising:

• receiving, at a target computing device, a message definition combined with a message key and message data separately combined with the message key, the combinations received over a secure communication channel;
• decrypting the combinations at the target computing device;
• and
• combining the message definition and message data to recreate a message.

An apparatus comprising:

• a first modular transfer module to process a message to generate a first message definition and first message data;
• a message key component coupled to the first module transfer module;
• a communication module to securely transmit the first message definition and first message data separately;
• an encryption module to encrypt the first message definition combined with a message key and the first message data separately combined with the message key, the encryption module using a same encryption key to encrypt both combinations.

An apparatus comprising:

• a message creator to combine a first message definition received in combination with a first message key with a first message data separately received in combination with the first message key to generate a first message;
• a communication module to receive the combinations;
• and
• a decryption module to decrypt the first message definition and the first message data.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored herein, which when executed cause a computer to perform a set instructions comprising:

• receiving a first message;
• separating a first message definition and a first message data for the first message;
• encrypting the first message definition combined with a message key and the first message data separately combined with the message key by a transmitting computing device;
• encrypting the combinations separately;
• and
• transmitting the combinations separately to a target computing device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored therein, which when executed cause a computer to perform a set of instructions comprising:

• receiving a first message definition and a first message data over a secure communication channel, wherein the first message definition and first message data are each received as separate units each combined with a message key, the combinations of the first key and each of the first message definition and the first message data separately encrypted;
• decrypting the first message definition and the first message data;
• identifying a match between the first message data and the first message definition;
• combining the first message data and the first message definition to form a message.
