Dynamic cryptographic polymorphism (DCP) system and method
Described herein is a method of enhancing the security of an internet transaction which includes the transmission of structurally formatted information, the method including the steps of: transmitting a request for the structurally formatted information across a network environment; receiving the request and sending a formulated response requiring calculation and decoding to determine the nature and content of the structurally formatted information; and receiving the structurally formatted information.
1. A method of enhancing the security of an internet server, the method including:
receiving a request at the internet server for web form data from a client device via a network;
determining a hash based on a number and a seed at the internet server, wherein the complexity of the hash is altered in accordance with a calculated level of risk of insecurity of the network;
sending, from the internet server to the client device, a response to the request, the response including the hash and the seed;
receiving, at the internet server, a browser determined answer that is based on the hash and the seed; and
sending the web form data, from the internet server to the client device, if the browser determined answer matches the number.
2. A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the number is a randomly generated number.
