ABSTRACT:
A system of secure communications between multiple parties. This system uses an index/secure key combination for each party. The index key never changes its value. A secured central router with access to a master database uses index keys to look up corresponding secure keys in the master database. The central router uses the secure keys to decrypt messages sent by parties and reencrypt the messages for the recipients and, thus, acts as a conduit for secure communications between parties.
