Abstract: A method and system for efficiently conducting secure communications in a commuter network are provided. Secure communications in a network are typically of the Secure Socket Layer (“SSL”) and Transport Layer Security (“TLS”) formats. These formats require the server to decrypt numerous encrypted messages at the cost of efficiency and speed. By combining the encrypted messages into a batch and utilizing a Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (“RSA”) batch decryption algorithm, the efficiency of the decryption is improved. Methods for improving this process include replacing the required number of divisions and inversion with more efficient multiplication operations. Further computation savings are realized by reducing the number of exponentiations and structuring the batches of encrypted messages to contain balanced exponents.

Abstract: A computer system for displaying an image of a hypertext document in an animated marquee. The computer system includes a hypertext document viewer that receives an identification of a hypertext document and generates an image of the hypertext document: The computer system also includes a marquee object that receives an identification of an hypertext document, that invokes the hypertext document viewer to generate an image of the hypertext document, and that displays the image of the generated hypertext document. The computer system also includes a browser that receives an identification of an hypertext document that contains an indication of the marquee object along with a reference to another hypertext document and that invokes the hypertext document viewer sending the identification of the hypertext document.
