ABSTRACT:
A method of encrypted communication including creating a message and looking up a public key of a recipient. Then, encoding the message via a first encoding process using a first portion of the public key to generated an intermediate encoded message. The intermediate encoded message is encoded via a second encoding process using a second portion of the public key to generate a final encoded message. Then, the final encoded message is sent to a recipient. The public key may have a first key portion, a second key portion, and a third key portion, with the third key portion containing the encoded identity of a data element needed to decode a message encoded with the second key portion. The third key portion is encoded with the public key of a monitoring authority to enable the monitoring authority to more readily decode transmitted messages.
