System and method for dynamically enabling components to implement data transfer security mechanisms

摘要

A system and method for implementing data transfer security mechanisms. The method includes a first component transferring a data type handler object to a second component. The second interface invokes an interface accessible through the date type handler object which includes instructions that are executed by the second component to implement a data transfer security mechanism. Further, the data type handler interface can be encrypted, include cryptographic keys, and/or include digital signatures.
