Abstract
The present invention is directed to a system and method for secure transmission of electronic document data on a network. The method begins with the receipt of user identification data associated with the identity of a user of document processing devices on the associated network. A password key, composed of a first share and a second share, is then generated from the user identification data. The first share is then communicated to an associated storage area. Electronic document data is then received, and an encryption key is randomly generated. The electronic document data is then encrypted using the encryption key. The second share is then appended to the encrypted electronic document and the combined data is communicated to an associated document processing device.
