Original Abstract Submitted

a method of exchanging cryptographic keys capable of providing users with a keyed encryption mechanism for secure communication that bypasses the vulnerabilities of a commonly known public key. in response to concerns about the ability of quantum computing to trivialize the once secure public key encryption methods, the present invention uses non-trusted third parties to exchange grouped encryption keys instead of reliance on a public key. the present invention operates by generating an ordered set of keys and storing them on common authentication servers which function as intermediaries. the recipient is able to retrieve the keys by leveraging the common servers' authentication. the key is unique to each transaction and no parties other than the sender and receiver will generally be able to access the entirety of the necessary keys to decrypt the underlying information.
