Mobile image capture and transmission of documents to a secure repository

摘要

Various methods and systems are provided for capture and transmission of images to a secure repository. In one example, among others, a method includes capturing an image of a document as an image file using a mobile device, adding metadata to the image file, and securely transmitting the image file to a server. The image file can be stored in a secure repository. In another example, a mobile device includes a secure transfer application that causes the mobile device to capture an image as an image file, add metadata to the image file, and transmit the image file to a server via a secure connection. The server may store the image file in a secure repository. In another example, a non-transitory computer-readable medium includes a program that captures an image, adds metadata to the image file, and transmits the image file securely to a server.

1. A method for secure capture and transmission of a file to a secure repository on a server, comprising:
providing access to a secure document capture interface on a mobile device in response to verification of user credentials by a remote authentication server; capturing an image of a document through the secure document capture interface, the image captured as an image file using a camera of the mobile device; generating, by the mobile device, an updated image file by adding metadata to the image file, the metadata entered through the secure document capture interface; storing the updated image file in encrypted secure memory of the mobile device, where access to the updated image file stored in the encrypted secure memory is restricted to the secure document capture interface on the mobile device; establishing a secure encrypted connection to the server in response to a user command to save the updated image file, wherein the secure encrypted connection is a secure connection over a wireless link, and the user command is provided through the secure document capture interface; transmitting, by the mobile device, the updated image file securely to the server, where the updated image file is transmitted via the secure encrypted connection and stored in the secure repository on the server; receiving confirmation of successful transfer of the updated image file to the server; and automatically removing, by the mobile device, the updated image file from the encrypted secure memory of the mobile device in response to receiving the confirmation.
