Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for generating secure symmetric encryption/decryption via the Internet. The present method provides for a more advanced and sophisticated manner of preventing hackers from accessing sensitive and private information. Information is encrypted and decrypted using unique keys in combination with the recipient's PIN numbers. Each unique key corresponds to one recipient and is locally stored on the recipient's computer device. Thus, in order to decrypt information using the present invention, the recipient is required to provide the correct password while using the computer device that includes the unique key.
