| Zusammenfassung: | A method and system secures an encryption key for utilization on a secured network by receiving, at a trusted node, an encryption key request from a requesting node, the encryption key request including a public encryption key of a public/private encryption key pair associated with the requesting node; determining, at the trusted node, if the requesting node has previously supplied enough virtual currency to support the request; choosing an encryption key for distributing to the requesting node when it is determined the requesting node has enough virtual currency; encrypting the chosen encryption key with the public encryption key of a public/private encryption key pair associated with the requesting node; and sending the encrypted encryption key to the requesting node. |
