Abstract:
A method of leveling processor computational load during secure information exchange, comprising:(a) generating session encryption keys during periods of low processor computational load and storing said session encryption keys during periods of low processor computational load;(b) encrypting a selected, stored session encryption key with a public encryption key of an expected party to a secure information exchange during periods of low processor computational load and storing said encrypted session encryption keys during periods of low processor computational load;(c) creating a message for delivery to said expected party;(d) retrieving said selected, stored session encryption key and stored encrypted session encryption key of said expected party;(e) encrypting said message to form an encrypted message;(f) creating a composite message composed of said encrypted message and said encrypted session encryption key of said expected party; and(g) sending said composite message to said expected party.
