  • Method and apparatus for secure import of information into data aggregation program hosted by personal trusted device
    Publication number: 20040159700
    Abstract: Embodiments in accordance with the present invention allow financial or other confidential information to be securely imported in electronic form into a PTD. The information to be imported is first encrypted. The encrypted information is then transmitted from a source to the PTD. The encrypted information is then stored by the PTD. A decryption key is sent to the PTD user in a manner establishing a strong non-repudiation scheme. For example, the decryption key could be sent from a second device, or through a second communication channel separate and distinct from the first communication channel. Utilizing the decryption key delivered through the second communication channel, the user is able to decrypt and access the information in the PTD for transactional purposes.
