PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methods for securing communications even if several certificate authorities are lost by distributing the trust among certificate authorities.SOLUTION: Two approaches for distributing trust among a set of certificate authorities are equally secure. In each approach, a data division module called a secure data parser is integrated with any suitable encryption technology and used for securing data in motion. In one approach, the secure data parser distributes the trust among a set of certificate authorities during initial negotiation (e.g., the key establishment phase) of a connection between two devices. In the other approach, the secure data parser disperses packets of data into shares. |
