Computer related method and apparatus to transmit a logical value (e.g., 1 or 0) between two entities, such as an operating system and application program, in a secure way in an insecure environment. The logical status is sent by in effect encrypting it using two random numbers, one from each entity, before sending it to the other entity. However the encrypting is much "lighter" (requiring much less computer or circuit resources) than any conventional secure cipher and has a built-in verification feature. |
