  • Patent number: 6880079
    Abstract: Methods and systems for secure transmission of information are provided. In accordance with a method of the present invention, a client sends to a server, a request, at least one unique identifier and an encryption key. The server generates a reply to the request and identifies a mobile device (based on the at least one unique identifier) to which to send the reply. The server also encrypts the reply, using the encryption key, to thereby produce an encrypted reply. The encrypted reply is then sent from the server to the mobile device (e.g., a mobile phone). Once received by the mobile device, the encrypted reply is available for transfer (automatically or manually) from the mobile device to the client. Once provided to the client, the client can decrypt the encrypted reply using the encryption key. The decrypted reply is then available for use at (e.g., by) the client.
