Patent ID: 8078868

Claim:
A cryptographic communication system, comprising: i encryption keys K 1 , . . . , K i stored on one or more encryption key storage media, wherein i is an integer greater than or equal to 2; one or more stations, each station in the one or more stations associated with at least one of the encryption keys K 1 , . . . , K i ; one or more interfaces configured to receive an initial data packet D 0 , the initial data packet D 0 available for review at each station in the one or more stations; an encryption logic system configured to: encrypt the initial data packet D 0 to form i encrypted data packets E 1 , . . . , E i , each encrypted data packet E m of encrypted data packets E 1 , . . . , E i encrypted according to the encryption key K m of encryption keys K 1 , . . . , K i by the station associated with the encryption key K m , where m ranges from 1 to i; combine each of the encrypted data packets E m into a final encrypted data packet E f , wherein E f =( E 1 *E 2 * . . . *E i ) mod M=D 0 P mod M wherein M is the product of multiplying prime factors F 1 , . . . , F q , where q is an integer greater than one, and wherein the encryption keys K 1 , . . . , K i are used to form a public key P; and allow each station in the one or more stations to access the contents of the data packet D 0 prior to encryption of the data packet D 0 .
