Abstract: A system and method facilitating the exchange and/or using of a session key (e.g., symmetric key) to facilitate secure communication is provided. The session key can be employed, for example, to encrypt and/or decrypt message(s) that form a dialog between an initiator system and target system(s). “Dialog” refers to bidirectional streams of messages between two endpoints (e.g., initiator system and target system(s)). The systems and methods of the present invention can facilitate, for example, dialog authentication (e.g., ensuring that the initiator and target of the dialog are who they say they are by exchanging security credentials), and, authorization (e.g., only allowing authorized users to send and receive messages). The system(s) and method(s) of the present invention can further facilitate location transparency of service(s) and/or scalable secure monolog(s). The system employs public key/private key asymmetric encryption and/or decryption technique(s) to authenticate and secure information (e.g., message(s) and/or session key(s)) exchanged between an initiator system and a target system.

Abstract translation: 提供了一种便于交换和/或使用会话密钥（例如，对称密钥）以促进安全通信的系统和方法。 可以采用会话密钥，例如，加密和/或解密形成发起者系统和目标系统之间的对话的消息。 “对话”是指在两个端点（例如，发起者系统和目标系统）之间的双向消息流。 本发明的系统和方法可以促进例如对话认证（例如，通过交换安全证书确保对话的发起者和目标是他们所说的），以及授权（例如，仅允许授权用户 发送和接收消息）。 本发明的系统和方法可以进一步促进服务的位置透明度和/或可扩展的安全单调。 该系统采用公共密钥/私人密钥非对称加密和/或解密技术来认证和保护在发起者系统和目标系统之间交换的信息（例如，消息和/或会话密钥）。
