Set of protocols permitting rapid authentication for commercial transactions of information and services on the internet, allowing high performance operation of micropayments

摘要

A function protocol transmits a ticket/key pair to a client from a vendor via an intermediary. A high performance light-weight security protocol uses the functional protocol and an exchange of strongly encrypted session keys followed by a cycle of lightly protected messages. A data encapsulation protocol sends the functional protocol and messages in XML format along a HTTP tunnel.
