A system and method for a context-aware switching model enabled between different access points such as web sites are described. The invention allows a user to be automatically transferred securely to another site from the current site without requiring intervention from the user, such as redundant entry of information. In another embodiment, the invention can also be utilized to switch from one application to another application. The invention also is capable of gathering context sensitive information and passing this context-sensitive information to another location. In one embodiment, the invention operates in conjunction with a secured transaction exchange, automatic population of fields, digital rights management, controlled content access, and the like. In one embodiment, context data is captured on a transaction device (810); the context data is stored on a storage device; and the context data is distributed from the storage device to a remote location (820).
