Abstract
Embodiments described herein provide a method on a mobile electronic device to facilitate the transmission of encrypted user data to a service provider, such as an emergency service provider. An encrypted data repository stores user data to be transmitted to the service provider. A key to decrypt the encrypted data repository is wrapped using a key associated with a publicly trusted certificate for the service provider. In response a request received at the mobile device to initiate an emergency services request, the mobile device can transmit the encrypted data repository and wrapped cryptographic material to a server that is accessible by the service provider.
