Publication number: 20070179895Abstract: Consumers may utilize computing devices to assist in the purchase and/or loyalty process, and in particular, the consumer may utilize a PDA to facilitate the purchase and/or loyalty process. During the purchase and/or loyalty process, the consumer may need to insure that any content downloaded or used in association with the PDA is secure in how it is collected, assembled, and delivered to the PDA device. This system and method secures the data from its source to when it is actually viewed or used by the authorized user. The PDA may have direct access to an Internet web site portal that offers secure personal content from a content provider, such as, for example, an on-line banking or financial institution. Using the web site portal, the content provider may offer personal or confidential data, such as financial information, to PDA users in a secure (e.g., encrypted) environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2007Publication date: August 2, 2007Applicant: AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVEL RELATED SERVICES COMPANY, INC.Inventors: Fred Bishop, Trey Neemann, Theodore Voltmer, Fauziah Ariff
