摘要

主权项

1. A computer implemented method for securely transferring data between parties using a third party system host comprising the steps of:
providing data for encryption, a data package sender, a data package recipient, a system host server, and a user interface; at the system host server generating a first secret and associating said first secret to the data package; at the data package sender generating a second secret inaccessible to said system host server; at the data package sender combining said first secret and said second secret to generate an encryption key, encrypting the data and uploading the data to the system host server; and at the data package recipient after receiving the first secret from the system host server and second secret from the package sender, combining the first secret and second secret and reconstituting the encryption key to decrypt the data package.
