  • System and method for transferring encrypted sections of documents across a computer network
    Patent number: 6154840
    Abstract: A system and method for transmitting encrypted documents from a document server to a client computer across network allows a user to select and view fewer than all of the sections of the document so that not all of the encrypted document need be transmitted. An encryption module and encryption key generator allows the document server to generate encryption information for each encrypted section of the secure document and store that information in a key file on the client computer. A decryption module on the client computer accesses the key file to decrypt for viewing the selected document sections transmitted from the server.
