<p>A system, method and computer readable medium for securely transmitting an information package (10) to an addressee (190) via a network (108), wherein an addressee (190) is not required to have a private-public key pair before the package (10) is sent. A sending system (102) encrypts the package (10) with a package encryption key (600) and then encrypts a package decryption key (601) with an escrow encryption key (380) obtained from an escrow key manager (116). The encrypted package (10) and encrypted package decryption key (601) are held in escrow by a server system (104), until the addressee (190) is issued a new public and private key pair (390,, 391). The server system (104) decrypts the package decryption key (601), re-encrypts it with the addressee's new public key (390), and forwards the encrypted package (10) and re-encrypted package decryption key (601) to the addressee's receiving system (106). The receiving system (106) receives the delivery and decrypts the information package (10).</p> |
