Abstract
In some embodiments, a server can establish a session with a remote client. The server can generate a session key portion for the session and a client key portion for the remote client. The server can use a combined encryption key to encrypt client data received from the remote client during the session. The combined encryption key can be generated from a static key portion accessible by the server, the session key portion, and the client key portion. The server can associate the session key portion with the session. The session key portion is accessible by the server during the session. The server can delete the client key portion after providing the client key portion to the remote client. The server can obtain the client key portion from the remote client in response to determining that subsequent transactions during the session involve decrypting the encrypted client data.
