Abstract
A method of secure data transfer and storage using a removable storage device storing encrypted information. The method uses a host that stores and transfers encrypted sensitive information and a customer that desires the information to be securely stored. The customer chooses a unique encryption code to encrypt sensitive information and places the encrypted files on the removable storage device, then physically transfers the information to the host. The encrypted sensitive information travels physically between the host and customer outside of any computer network. The host has a gapped area that remains disconnected from any network. The host takes the sensitive information and copies it to the designated armored storage unit.
