Abstract
A camera is provided that stores an encryption key locally and transmits the encryption key using near field communication (NFC) when the encryption key is requested by the user. In one embodiment, the camera includes a lens for recording video and an encryption engine for encrypting the video. The camera further includes a security chip for storing an encryption key locally in the camera. Additionally, the camera includes a near field communication (NFC) module that provides a bridge between the security chip of the camera and the device at which the user is viewing the images recorded by the lens. The NFC module includes memory for temporarily storing the encryption key and an NFC transceiver for sending the encryption key from the memory of the NFC module to the device at which the user is viewing the images recorded by the lens of the camera.
