  abstract =     { A cryptographic communications system and
                  method. The system includes a communications channel
                  coupled to at least one terminal having an encoding
                  device and to at least one terminal having a
                  decoding device. A message-to-be-transferred is
                  enciphered to ciphertext at the encoding terminal by
                  first encoding the message as a number M in a
                  predetermined set, and then raising that number to a
                  first predetermined power (associated with the
                  intended receiver) and finally computing the
                  remainder, or residue, C, when the exponentiated
                  number is divided by the product of two
                  predetermined prime numbers (associated with the
                  intended receiver). The residue C is the
                  ciphertext. The ciphertext is deciphered to the
                  original message at the decoding terminal in a
                  similar manner by raising the ciphertext to a second
                  predetermined power (associated with the intended
                  receiver), and then computing the residue, M', when
                  the exponentiated ciphertext is divided by the
                  product of the two predetermined prime numbers
                  associated with the intended receiver. The residue
                  M' corresponds to the original encoded message M.
