  • Method and apparatus for providing secure file transmission
    Patent number: 10051035
    Abstract: An approach is provided for enabling the transmission of files independent of a file transfer application or the throughput capabilities of the sending or receiving devices. A segmentation platform receives a user input for specifying a data file to be transferred from a server to a receiving device. The segmentation platform also initiates a segmenting of the data file at the server based on the user input and generates one or more instructions, at least one error detection parameter, or a combination thereof for initiating an assembly of segments of the data file at the receiving device, validating the assembly of the segments of the data file, or a combination thereof. The segmentation platform further stores the segments, the one or more instructions, the at least one error detection parameter, or a combination thereof to the server for retrieval by a user of the receiving device.
