摘要

An apparatus and method for private, peer-to-peer, and end-to-end content delivery, management, and access is disclosed. Content examples may include encrypted email, Instant Messaging (IM), and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communications. The disclosed apparatus, hereafter referred to as Personal Portable Device, is a small device that is owned by the service's subscribers. A Personal Portable Device is connected to its owner's home Internet router via Ethernet cable (or Wi-Fi). Then, the Internet router is configured to forward ports on the Personal Portable Device to allow incoming requests. In one embodiment, two (or more) owners of the Personal Portable Devices communicate securely over the Internet. Each device acts as a standalone web server with email, IM, and VoIP servers. Portable Personal Devices communicate with each other over the Internet in peer-to-peer fashion, and automatically handle the generation and exchange of encryption/decryption keys.
