Abstract
A machine has a processor and a memory connected to the processor. The memory stores instructions executed by the processor to execute a messaging application to coordinate exchanges of messages over a network. A secure channel is maintained separate from the messaging application. The secure channel processes cryptographic blocks delivered to and received from the message application.
