Abstract
The present invention discloses an apparatus and method of transferring data from a first device to a second device. The method includes transmitting a request to transfer the data from the first device to the second device, receiving, at the first device, a decryption key to allow transfer of the data stored in a memory of the first device, receiving, at the second device, an encryption key, and transmitting the data from the first device to the second device using peer-to-peer communications. The method also includes encrypting the data at the second device using the encryption key, storing the encrypted data in a memory of the second device, receiving, at the first device, an acknowledgement from the second device, the acknowledgement indicating that the data has been encrypted and stored in the memory of the second device, and deleting the data from the memory of the first device.
