DYNAMIC ENCRYPTION AND BREACH SOLUTION METHODS, NETWORKS, DEVICES, SOFTWARE, APPARATUS, SYSTEMS AND COMBINATIONS THEREOF, FOR ENHANCING THE SECURITY OF DATA TRANSFER USING ASYMMETRIC PUBLIC KEY ENCRYPTION TRANSMISSION OVER NETWORKS AND OTHER SYSTEMS

摘要

Methods, networks, devices, apparatus, software, firmware, hardware, systems, business methods and combinations thereof for providing the high speed, high capacity encryption and transmission of digital data over many types of communications networks and systems are provided. A significant increase is realized in the security of encrypted data transfer from a sender to a receiver over a network which uses a public key algorithm for the encryption/decryption process. In a key aspect, a sender transfers the public key to the receiver over a network on a different route or virtual path than the route or virtual path that is used to send the encrypted data itself. When a pluralitv or numerous, routes or virtual paths are available, the invention is adapted and arranged to dynamically change the available routes and virtual paths over which it sends the encrypted key and the encrypted data, thereby improving the level of security even more significantly. The invention is particularly effective and useful as a part of networks and other communications systems comprising one or more physical links, and especially those which utilize one or more optical fibers, such as Ethernet and other communications networks.
