Abstract
A method to balance or level processor computational load during the generation of random symmetric DES type keys and RSA type public key encryption, whereby the DES type keys are pre-generated and pre-encrypted for known and expected receivers, and stored for immediate access during time-critical on-line communication between the sender and receiver. A method for authentication using the sender's RSA public key is also disclosed whereby the sender's authenticating signature is pre-generated and stored with the pre-generated and pre-encrypted DES keys.
