<p>Data messages (101) transmitted between computers are encrypted to provide a high level of security, yet the throughput of the encrypted data is minimally affected. In this regard, a first computer (14, 17) and a second computer (14, 17) utilize a new encryption key and/or encryption scheme for each data session between the two computers. Furthermore, in one embodiment, the first computer (14, 17) encrypts a data portion (103) of a message (101) via a first encryption technique before transmitting the message (101) to a second computer (14, 17). The first computer (14, 17) also includes information associated with the first encryption technique in a header (105) of the message (101) and encrypts the header (105) via a second encryption technique, which preferably is a highly secure encryption technique. The second computer (14, 17) receives the data message (101) and decrypts the header (105). The second computer (14, 17) then utilizes the information in the header (105) that is associated with the first encryption technique to decrypt the data portion (103).</p> |
