An Operations Center (OC) ( 200 ) acts as a central key manager and intermediary in securely, reliably and non-repudiably delivering a document ( 3 ) from a sender ( 100 ) to a recipient ( 300 ). The OC ( 200 ) acts as a key manager to facilitate the process of strong authentication of the sender ( 100 ) and the recipient ( 300 ), encryption of the delivery ( 510 ), and setup of reliable connections ( 2 A, 2 B, 2 C). In a preferred embodiment, the reliable connections ( 2 A, 2 B, 2 C) are virtual private network connections. |
