ABSTRACT:
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 (2A,2B,2C). In a preferred embodiment, the reliable connections (2A,2B,2C) are virtual private network connections.
