Approach for message level encryption for service APIs

摘要

Disclosed are requesting party and responding party computer systems which perform a message level encryption for messages sent through the computer systems. Using the message level encryption, the computer systems may prevent those with access to an unsecured zone in one or more of the computer systems from viewing the messages.

1. A method for message level encryption executed by one or more dedicated processors of a computer system of a requesting party for encrypted transmission of messages through an unsecure zone within the computer system of the requesting party, through an unsecure zone within a computer system of a responding party, or through both, the method comprising:
encrypting, by the one or more dedicated processors, a request message with a request message-level encryption; encrypting, by the one or more dedicated processors, the request message with a request second level encryption; and sending, by the one or more dedicated processors, the request message which is encrypted with the message-level encryption and the second level encryption to a responding party via the unsecure zone within the computer system of the requesting party, via the unsecure zone within the computer system of the responding party, or via both.
