Abstract
A method for securely transmitting data from a sender computer system to a receiver computer system comprises receiving cleartext message by a first intelligent agent environment; splitting said message into a plurality of message fragments; creating an intelligent agent for each message fragment; generating a key for each message fragment; encrypting each said message fragment to produce a respective encrypted message fragment; and transmitting each intelligent agent with said respective encrypted message fragment as a data payload. The method may further comprise receiving each intelligent agent with its respective encrypted message fragment as a data payload by a second intelligent agent environment at the receiver computer system; locating each of a set of agents; decrypting each encrypted respective message fragment to produce a respective cleartext message fragment; and collaborating by the set of agents to recombine cleartext message fragments to form a cleartext message.
